Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “We were pleased to announce earlier this month that we signed with Scania an agreement for a long-term collaboration to implement the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and expand the usage of our industry solution experiences to support their need for high levels of modularity and customer-specific configurations. In July we announced the Boeing decision for the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform across all their programs and the selection of our Manufacturing Operations Management solutions for production performance. We were also pleased with a number of other decisions. While sales timelines remain extended, and the progress we are making with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is not fully reflected in our financial performance, we are highly confident that momentum will continue to build.

“We are also advancing our strategy implementation. Our multiphysics, multiscale technology roadmap will be enhanced with the planned acquisition of Exa to become part of our SIMULIA portfolio. The ability to simulate the impact of highly dynamic fluid flows is critical for industries, for cities and for medicine. For CATIA, the acquisition of No Magic will expand our systems engineering capabilities which will be critical contributors to the realization of autonomous vehicles and to the creation of entirely new customer experiences.

“Finally, at our North American 3DEXPERIENCE Forum last week, we shared important advances in our Living Heart Program, where our goal is to help to drive the creation and use of simulated 3D personalized hearts in the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of heart diseases, as one illustration of our many investments in Life Sciences. The digital Living Heart is now available through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, offering the speed and flexibility of high-performance computing (HPC) enabling medical device companies of all sizes and life sciences companies to have immediate access to a complete, on-demand HPC environment to scale up virtual testing securely and collaboratively.”
