Dassault Systemes has announced its ongoing commitment to PLM openness by continuing to support the next phases of the Codex of PLM Openness (CPO), an initiative driven by automotive OEMs, suppliers and the ProSTEP iViP association.
Dominique Florack, Sr. Executive VP, Products, Research & Development, Dassault Systemes said, "For 30 years Dassault Systemes' executive team has driven PLM relentlessly towards an open, unified collaborative experience for our customers. Openness is critical to collaboration and, thus, innovation. Dassault Systèmes is very much in favor of the CPO and actively supports this effort."
Florack added, "Our support of interoperability standards between V6 and other CAD, PDM, and enterprise systems has been a key focus over the past years. I’m glad to see that the Codex of PLM Openness is defining what 'open' is, since the term has long been thrown about with little behind it. The irresponsible claims of openness and accusations of non-openness have engendered unnecessary fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the industry and have adversely distracted many customers of PLM solutions."
