Dassault Systèmes
Virtual twin experiences and 3D design, simulation, and PLM for product innovation, manufacturing, and lifecycle management across industries.
Overview
Dassault Systèmes is a global technology company that develops science-based virtual twin experiences and collaborative platform solutions to help businesses and individuals create sustainable products, services, and innovations. Operating under the philosophy of "Virtual Worlds for Real Life," the company empowers organizations across manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, and infrastructure sectors to invent, simulate, produce, and trade in entirely new ways.
At the core of Dassault Systèmes' offering is the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, a unified environment that brings together all aspects of a business — from design and simulation to data management and collaboration — breaking down traditional organizational silos and enabling faster, more informed decision-making. The platform serves a broad range of clients, from global industry leaders and mid-sized enterprises to startups and individual innovators.
Key Platform and Products
- 3DEXPERIENCE® Platform: A single collaborative platform combining design, simulation, manufacturing, and data management capabilities to increase collaboration, improve execution, and accelerate innovation across all business functions.
- 3DEXPERIENCE PLM Express for SMBs: A newly introduced set of cost-effective cloud bundles specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses, enabling efficient design, simulation, and data management without large infrastructure investment.
