COE President's Message

Dear COE Members and Guests:

As COE President, I would like to be the first to welcome you to the COE Community. COE is dedicated to bringing together the users of  Dassualt Systemes PLM solutions, CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA and 3DVIA.

Right now, the COE community, Confernece Planning Committee and Product and Process Committees are working hard to develop the content of the COE 2013 Annual PLM Conference & TechniFair in Orlando, Florida this April. This conference promises to be the top notch  where you’ll have access to training session and discussions featuring real-life users who are “making it work.”

This year’s conference features a dynamic line-up of speakers who will share how they are driving innovative business outcomes at today’s world-class organizations. At the COE 2013 Annual PLM Conference & TechniFair, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with other Dassault users who will share their stories, best practices and lessons learned at networking receptions and at the TechniFair exposition with over 30 vendors showcasing their complementary products and services. We’re thrilled to be teaming with you to make this an event driven by the invaluable peer-to-peer learning that drives careers forward.

I’d like to give special thanks to the Conference Planning Committee and nearly 80 product and process committee chairs, who have worked diligently to develop an outstanding line-up of education and training sessions, designed to help you make the most out of your Dassault Systèmes products. From the top-notch general sessions, to the highly anticipated DELMIA track, the hands-on training with the COE University, teamed with the multiple education tracks designed to suit your professional needs, this conference has it all.

Today’s fast-paced business environment has brought many challenges, including increased pressure to drive our businesses forward in new ways. The Dassault Systèmes PLM product suite offers us the opportunity to have a profound impact on our businesses. Having a community of peers to share experiences, tips and even failures is a critical to our success – and ultimately the success of our businesses.  I encourage you to be a part of this passionate community not just at this conference, but year-round. Take advantage of all the ways COE allows you to collaborate with peers and share your experiences.

On behalf of the COE Board of Directors, I would like to thank you being a part of our community.

Sincerely,

Keith Horton
COE President
