The DS PLM solution suite is embodied in four key brands—CATIA, DELMIA,
ENOVIA, and SIMULIA—which form one of the industry’s most comprehensive PLM
software portfolios. Used separately or collectively, the vendor’s proven
applications define, simulate, and optimize all products, processes, and
resources in an all-3D environment powered by an open development platform.
With DS PLM V5 solutions, all business processes are linked
together—including change management, activity and time management, asset
management, and more. By enabling employees to collaborate in real time while
accessing and sharing the same up-to-date information, companies can increase
communication and speed modification, as well as approval processes.
As a result, all organizational groups and processes–from design through
marketing to maintenance–can share, reuse, and enhance product information in
the pursuit of an optimum business strategy.
For Virtual Product Design: CATIACATIA enables users to simulate the
entire range of the industrial design process, from concept to product design,
analysis, and assembly. The CATIA product line covers all types of design and
engineering needs and seamlessly integrates with the vendor’s other brands.
For Virtual Production: DELMIADELMIA enables manufacturers to digitally
plan, create, monitor, and control production and maintenance processes. DELMIA
applications provide complete coverage of manufacturing processes.
For a Global Collaborative Environment: ENOVIAENOVIA addresses user
requirements across the full spectrum of product and business processes, from
small-scale teams to extended enterprises with many thousands of users. The
ENOVIA portfolio consists of three product lines:• ENOVIA VPLM—management of
highly complex product, resource, and manufacturing processes in medium and
large extended enterprises • ENOVIA MatrixOne—collaborative product
development business processes for enterprises across a wide range of
industries, including synchronicity for semiconductor design data management
• ENOVIA SmarTeam—collaborative product data management for small to medium
businesses, engineering departments of larger organizations, and across supply
chains
For Virtual Testing: SIMULIABy building on established technology,
respected quality, and superior customer service, SIMULIA makes realistic
simulation an integral business practice that enables engineers and scientists
to improve product performance, reduce the number of physical prototypes, and

Most companies create a new marketing plan every 12 months. At the same time, they should audit their message strategy to stay on top of competitors’ marketing and to have confidence that they are delivering the right message to their market.
Providers of complex products, systems, and services should view quote-to-order (Q2O) systems as enablers that can improve competitive advantage. At the same time, users should remember that Q2O solutions are not necessarily advantageous for all manufacturing departments or businesses.
The latest generation of quote-to-order systems uses knowledge-based software to help reduce an organization’s dependence on its highly skilled experts. The ability to harness a company’s intellectual property and know-how helps build competitive advantage.

The clock is ticking for manufacturers to come up with a solution to the ongoing loss of knowledge capital. Their best hope lies in introducing knowledge management strategies across the enterprise—before it’s too late.
Using the service-oriented architecture concepts of reusability and standards-based interoperability, and based on extensive experience with legacy systems and packaged applications integration, Eqos can deliver pre-configured, cross-enterprise business processes that blend new and legacy functionality into a more coherent process.
