Dassault Systèmes

Dassault Systèmes is a French software company with its global headquarters at the Paris Campus in Vélizy-Villacoublay, France. It makes software and services that let businesses build virtual twins of products, factories and cities.

Its main platform is called 3DEXPERIENCE. It links research, engineering, production, marketing and end users in one place. The platform runs on the cloud or on a company's own servers. It gives teams a real-time view of their business and the partners around it.

The company sells software under many brands. CATIA is for product design and systems engineering. DELMIA helps manufacturers, supply chain teams and service providers plan, manage and run their operations. ENOVIA helps teams across a value network work together. Other brands include SIMULIA, SOLIDWORKS, BIOVIA, GEOVIA, MEDIDATA, OUTSCALE, 3DVIA and Centric PLM.

The brands support 12 industries, and aerospace and defense is one of them. Airbus and Safran are among the customers named on the company's pages. One customer story tells how EVIO uses the platform for 3D design, teamwork and virtual reality while it develops a hybrid-electric aircraft. The company also promotes its tools for naval design and shipyard work.

Dassault Systèmes also offers professional services. Its consulting team helps customers set business goals and build a plan before a digital change begins. Its cloud migration work moves older CAD and PLM systems to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. For learning, it runs certification programs and learning libraries for students, teachers and companies.

The company is more than 45 years old. It has nearly 25,000 people at 188 sites. Its other main campuses are in Waltham, Massachusetts, and in Shanghai, which is its Asia headquarters. Its customers range from large global companies to startups and individuals.
