Dassault Spins Off France Sales Division to Keonys
 SURESNES,
France, July 2, 2008 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris:
#13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
solutions, today announced that it is spinning off Dassault Systems
Solutions France (DSF), its PLM sales division dedicated primarily to small
and medium businesses in France, Belgium and Luxembourg, to Keonys. This new
independent company is a DS Value Added Reseller (VAR). In line with
Dassault Systems’ plan launched in 2006 to build a powerful PLM indirect
sales channel, the creation of Keonys reinforces Dassault Systems’ network
of PLM resellers in more than 60 countries.
“I’m delighted to welcome Keonys into our PLM Value Channel. This
spun-off entity brings with it an impressive track-record supporting a large
customer base,” says Etienne Droit, executive vice president of Dassault
Systems’ PLM Sales & Distribution. “We are confident about Keonys’ future.
This new company is composed of PLM industry experts. Their experience and
knowledge, in addition to the agility due to its size, will allow Keonys to
swiftly bring strategic value to its new and existing customers, ultimately
helping them to become more competitive with PLM.”
The Keonys team represents 120 professionals dedicated in France, Belgium
and Luxembourg to PLM sales, deployment, customization and support focused
on small to medium businesses in Dassault Systems’ 11 targeted sectors.
Jean-Yves Yung, Keonys’ founder and president comments, “Keonys is DSF.
We’re the same people with the same experience and expertise; however being
independent increases our agility so that we may provide an even higher
level of service to clients.”
Dassault Systems and Keonys have signed a General VAR Agreement
establishing Keonys as a VAR able to sell CATIA, DELMIA, ENOVIA and 3DVIA in
France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Keonys is also very motivated to be one of
the VARs enabling PLM 2.0 with V6.
