COE's Mission

COE is the only international, professional organization uniting the users of Dassault Systèmes software solutions. With more than 80,000 users in 400 member companies there is no better support community available.

COE provides a collaborative forum that drives innovation and maximizes productivity through the exploitation of CAx/PDM technology and services provided by DS, IBM and partners.   COE is a not-for-profit taxpaying corporation.

The primary objectives of COE are to provide a forum for the interchange of knowledge, experiences, and technical information relating to the application of the Dassault Systemes family of solutions and the environment in which CATIA solutions operate; and to communicate with Dassault Systemes and IBM regarding the current and future capabilities and use of these products.  Membership is open to all licensed users of the software in both commercial and academic environments.
