If you remember back to July, we introduced the R2014 release coming with its groundbreaking user interface “IF WE Compass”, which set a milestone in the way our customers would pilot their business. Here is an overview in case you missed it:
Back then however, we wanted to make sure the Platform was thoroughly tested and validated, so we limited availability of this release to a shorter list of customers, as part of what we called the “Lighthouse Program”. Half a year later, and thanks to the invaluable feedback from our “Lighthouse” customers, we’re now ready to make the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform available to everyone. On-premise or on-the-cloud. You choose. And when we mean available to everyone, we do mean everyone 🙂
Indeed, one of the feedback I’m sometimes hearing on social media or in real life is that the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform would be something for large companies only. The large manufacturers, the big OEMs. If you think so, I’d like you to take a look at the following testimonies from two of our “Lighthouse” customers (if you don’t think so, you can watch them too, they’re great testimonies 😀 ).
The first one I’d like to introduce is designer Jens Paulus. From Barcelona, Spain, Jens runs a small design studio with partners scattered all over Europe. Hear what Jens had to say:
Pretty self-explanatory, right? The second example is BHR, an France-based SMB building lightweight helicopters. They’ve been flying the cloud -so to speak!- for the past four months on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform:
With the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform on the cloud, small businesses like Jens Paulus or BHR can benefit today from the same advanced software as larger companies. Because they don’t have to worry about the burden of IT overhead, and because they can select exactly the Apps then need, right from the “IF WE Compass” user interface.
Another question I’ve been hearing at times relates to the procedure for accessing the Platform and provisioning the Apps. When Jens Paulus or the BHR guys say that entering 3DEXPERIENCE on the cloud was the matter of just a few clicks and minutes, they literally mean it. All it takes is just 6 steps to get started and access the most advanced yet scalable software in the industry:
What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
