The most natural part of life is finding like-minded people to connect with. As a result, we develop communities to feed that desire––to feel like we’re a part of something greater than ourselves, in an environment built on trust and similar interests, and to reach collective goals. Now, with an abundance of online communities, we can not only add value to our personal lives but also enrich the way we work.

Workplace communities provide a space for the growth and retention of institutional knowledge, and a direct path to access the information you need––bolstered by the knowledge, expertise and real-life experiences of its members. Be it physical or virtual, workplace communities can act as breeding grounds for new ideas and new ways of problem solving through technical discussions and the exchange of information and best practices.

Coming from a technology company, I understand the immense value of having such communities to support the various industry verticals and customers we reach around the world. They help our customers connect and engage online with leading experts and peers from across multiple disciplines and industry expertise. What’s more, our Communities are also a helpful resource for us in understanding and learning more about what our customers truly need.

DELMIA’s eight different online User Communities welcome customers, partners, academics as well as anyone interested in DELMIA solutions. The DELMIA User Communities include:

1. DELMIA Global Operations Community – a public community and a great starting point for all things DELMIA. Here, you will find the latest DELMIA news, events, webinars, customer stories and product updates as well as the value you can get from participating in our additional User Community discussions.
2. DELMIA Virtual Factory & Robotics Community – discover a number of interactive ways for robot programmers and simulation engineers to share and learn with others in the world of Virtual Factory & Robotics.

Via the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, our members gain unfettered access to as many of these Communities as they like. Depending on your current and future use of DELMIA, I encourage you to join the Communities you will find most useful for your business or interests to really focus on key topics and exchange tips, ideas, and thoughts on those subjects.

All communities are public, except for DELMIA Process Engineering and Planning & Optimization. Access will be provided following a membership request. Your 3DEXPERIENCE ID gets you access to all of the DELMIA communities. Sign in or create your ID here.
