A COE Conference Hot Topic addresses business issues regarding the deployment of the Dassault Systèmes suite of products. Selected speakers, from both the user and vendor communities, share their approach and experience. Hot Topics will be presented through a series of case studies, best practices, and lessons learned, and are incorporated throughout the conference program.

 
  • Engineering and Business Collaboration
  • Implementing PLM, Success and Lessons Learned
  • PLM Legacy Data
  • Working in a Heterogeneous PLM Environment
  • V6 - New Technology and Environments
Engineering and Business Collaboration
This issue explores the approaches, benefits, tradeoffs and results to be obtained through structured and effective collaboration. It includes the challenges created by global locations, time zones, and cultures; as well as, technology and cost sharing issues. It addresses all collaboration within a PLM environment, such as Product Development, Production within the Supply Chain, and Post-delivery issues.

Implementing PLM, Success and Lessons Learned
This topic addresses approaches for implementation, supporting tasks, and early results gained within the context of this typical industry challenge. Specifically, it can address issues involving CAD, CAM, CAE and PDM implementation, managing change, and best practices in a PLM environment.

PLM Legacy Data
This topic continues to be a fundamental business issue. Many products have a very significant lifecycle. Customers require support and reuse for product data even thought the technology that developed them continues to evolve. This topic addresses the issues of accessibility, data migration, and usability as these PLM technologies change.

Working in a Heterogeneous PLM Environment
Reality in many projects and companies today is a product development environment that depends on multiple vendors for PLM Solutions. This topic explores the issues and approaches for working in a heterogeneous CAD, CAM, CAE, and PDM Environment. It also addresses specific issues such as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), Open Architecture, Standards, and network issues working with geographically distributed users in the extended enterprise.

V6 - New Technology and Environments
While many of use are using V4/V5 technology in current product development, analysis, and manufacturing - a new derivative of this technology is born. This Hot Topic addresses the question of what is this new technology and how it might be applied in a business environment. Initially, the interest for the conference attendees is to acquire detailed planning information.
