France's Alstom Transport Selects Dassault ENOVIA v6
 VÉLIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, June
7, 2011 - Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Alstom
(Paris: ALO) has selected its Version 6 PLM platform to improve end to end
business processes. As a first step in this major transformation, Alstom
Transport will leverage Dassault Systèmes’ ENOVIA Version 6 to unify its
different sites under a unique, worldwide platform enabling its employees to
efficiently collaborate on customer projects. Alstom is consolidating its PLM
system in order to streamline information sharing, increase its manufacturing
capacity and reduce time-to-market. By adopting ENOVIA Version 6 collaborative
platform, Alstom has chosen the best path for a smooth transition to full PLM
value and its rich Version 6 authoring applications for the future.
Looking for maximum efficiency and ROI, Alstom chose Dassault Systèmes’
ENOVIA Version 6 for its flexible, open PLM backbone providing the unique
ability to implement the “Design Once, Manufacture Anywhere concept” across
business lines, as well as its multi-disciplinary collaboration
capabilities. ENOVIA Version 6 will be deployed to 3500 users.
“We are now faced with a new highly competitive landscape where we need
to improve our “tender to delivery” process,” said Jean-Louis Ricaud, Chief
Operating Officer, Alstom Transport. “This, compounded by the heterogeneous
software solutions installed at our different manufacturing sites, made
sharing information and working together rather challenging in the past.
Deploying a unique collaborative virtual platform will enable skills to be
shared among the different sites and streamline information sharing,
reducing development times and costs.”
Alstom will first rationalize its data by standardizing its disparate PDM
systems on a “single source of truth” Version 6 online platform. This
initial phase will address applications for disciplines that need to manage
the engineering and manufacturing Bill Of Materials (BOMs). The second phase
will focus on the implementation of CATIA Version 6 for all mechanical
design.
“We are pleased that Alstom has chosen to consolidate its investment in
Version 6,” said Sylvain Laurent, Executive Vice President, PLM Enterprise
Business Transformation, Dassault Systèmes. “Alstom will benefit from a
single platform for intellectual property management, improved internal and
external collaboration. With its integrated Version 6 offering, Dassault
Systèmes puts innovation and creativity at the heart of engineering design
and helps reduce development cycle time while optimizing business processes
across the board.”
