Boeing Deploys Dassault Systèmes Update to Digital Tools for 787 Global Team

        LE BOURGET, France, June 13, 2005 – Boeing [NYSE:BA] is the first company to deploy the latest updates to the V5 Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software suite by Dassault Systèmes (NASDAQ: DASTY, Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), including CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA. The introduction included Boeing sites as well as members of the global 787 team.

        The update, known as Release 15 (R15), provides the global 787 Dreamliner team with improved integration between its ENOVIA collaboration backbone and DELMIA manufacturing definition tool. The team can better access and manipulate critical product information in real time. The V5R15 software also better integrates updates between designs and assembly information – eliminating the need for 2D installation drawings.

        “Our global team started using the software updates only two days after Dassault Systèmes made it available,” said Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 787 program for Boeing. “The improvements to the software are helping us reduce the time necessary to make design changes and virtually modify and test parts.”

        The V5 PLM application suite is part of an overall approach to managing the international collaboration, known as the Global Collaboration Environment (GCE), on the 787 program. In this virtual environment, Boeing and its partners are using V5 PLM applications to design, build and test every aspect of the 787 airplane and its manufacturing processes digitally and before production begins.

        “Boeing and Dassault Systèmes are partners in developing the software solutions that are enabling the global 787 team to leverage its strengths and work together even across many different time zones and geographic regions,” said Dave Fennell, vice president, Boeing Information Systems and Boeing PLM.


        “Boeing’s continued trust in Dassault Systèmes’ solutions for the remarkable 787 Dreamliner demonstrates the robustness and global capabilities of V5 with CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA, all together,” said Bernard Charlès, president and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “This rapid rollout is the result of a close-knit partnership between Boeing and Dassault Systèmes and demonstrates the power of the GCE and the value that V5 PLM can quickly bring to any company.”
