What we announced earlier today is truly a milestone in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform journey!

As our President and CEO Bernard Charlès puts it:

Today’s announcement is a pivotal moment in Dassault Systèmes history and the result of our commitment to bring innovative business value to our clients.  It is, as well, a ‘cloud’ announcement, but the cloud is more than infrastructure and a delivery mechanism. The cloud is a way of working.  It is where consumers voice their needs, their ideas, their feedback.  It is where innovation is fostered and ideas take hold.  The 3DEXPERIENCE platform reveals and delivers that potential. It gives our customers a holistic, inclusive and unified view of their business and ecosystem to create better experiences for their end-consumers.

You can find there the complete list of the V6R2014 cloud offers, but let’s focus here on the brand new user experience, aka “IFWE Compass”. Watch this:

As you saw in the video, “IFWE Compass” is much more than just a mere ‘app-switcher’. It’s a truly unified environment coming with many features such as cloud storage (3DSpace), live dashboarding capabilities (3DDashboard), online chat including 3D as a media (3DInstantMessaging), interactive 3D scenes sharing (3DPlay), unified search across all apps and data (3DSearch), and more.

Also, the “6W Tagging” is a pretty interesting feature allowing to qualify structured and unstructured (e.g. folksonomies) information in a very natural, intuitive way. Indeed ‘6W’ stands for the simple questions: Who, When, What, Where, Why, and hoW. Simple yet powerful questions!

More details about industry/user-focused scenarios will be coming as we move forward, but for now here are sneak previews from some of our Brands 🙂
