PLM Solutions aids development of vehicle prototypes
1 August 2003
IBM and Dassault Systèmes have signed a product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions contract with Bertrandt, a leading engineering services provider for the automotive industry.
Bertrandt selected an IBM PLM solution, with ENOVIA life cycle applications (LCA) V5 for product data management, developed by Dassault Systèmes. IBM's business consulting services (BCS), working with Dassault Systèmes, will support Bertrandt's efforts to standardise its entire product development platform, including integrating the ENOVIA solution with the company's existing CATIA V5 product development platform.
IBM PLM solutions and Dassault Systèmes will enable Bertrandt to improve product design and reduce time-to-market for a variety of auto parts including the chassis, engine and electrical equipment for customers such as DaimlerChrysler, BMW, Ford, Volkswagen and Audi. Bertrandt's 3100 employees will share design information in realtime across the extended enterprise and with international partners and automotive manufacturing customers.
