PARIS, France, Oct 17, 2007 - Dassault Systemes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 unified communications platform is providing the enterprise connectivity that enables DS’s award-winning 3DLive solution to link users in collaborative 3D environments to promote innovation and improve product quality.

3DLive is a lightweight online collaboration application that combines the universal language of 3D with Microsoft Corp.’s advanced indexing, search and instant messaging tools. It eliminates barriers to information sharing and real-time collaboration, enabling a free flow of ideas among every stakeholder in the product development process anytime, from anywhere, no matter what the system or source.

“Dassault Systemes takes advantage of Microsoft’s Office Communications Server 2007, giving customers significant communications benefits,” said Yancey Smith, group marketing manager, Unified Communications Group, at Microsoft Corp. “Microsoft is excited to work with Dassault to improve our customers’ experience and help foster better collaboration and productivity.”

3DLive integrates existing PLM or product data management (PDM) systems using adaptive service-oriented architecture and Web services to improve product design and downstream planning and resource management. 3DLive facilitates decision making and accelerates problem resolution through an advance knowledge-sharing functionality, including the award-winning 3D interactive “turntable” interface which offers a revolutionary alternative to the tedious searching through text menus in multiple databases and applications; the 3D Contextual Buddy List, which facilitates teaming with the right people and simplifies collaboration for faster decision making; and the 3D Heads-Up Display, which provides rich and immersive collaboration tools such as dynamic chat, 3D image-sharing, co-navigation and annotation, allowing participants to see, explore, and understand PLM information so they can make more informed decisions and validate those decisions rapidly and efficiently.

“3DLive integrated to Microsoft Office Communications server 2007 is all about bringing the people, the products, the processes and the resources that drive the business together in one immersive 3D virtual environment to enable innovative designs, higher product quality and shorter time to market,” said John Squire, vice president of worldwide marketing for ENOVIA, Dassault Systemes. “Together, the two products offer all stakeholders streamlined communications and more efficiency than they could ever achieve using conventional collaboration tools.”
