Dassault Systemes Aquires Seemage 3D Interactive Documentation Software

Dassault Systèmes, a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, and Seemage, a leader in the creation of 3D interactive product documentation, today announced that Dassault Systèmes recently acquired Seemage.  This transaction will enable DS to provide innovative solutions addressing the growing demand of its customers in the diversified area of product documentation.
 
This marks another major step towards our mission to democratise 3D product-related data and exploit 3D as a universal media. We are delighted to welcome the team from Seemage – an innovative start-up founded by Eric Piccuezzu and James Dugalais, on board, says Bernard Charlès, president and CEO, Dassault Systèmes.  We are extending the usefulness of 3D Product Lifecycle Management to new communities including customer service, technical training, marketing and sales by offering a new class of desktop-based content authoring tools. Chris Williams, CEO of Seemage, will be leading this effort as General Manager, 3DVIA Enterprise Solutions. 

As part of 3DVIA, DS’s brand for online 3D lifelike experiences, we will be able to reach a broad audience of new users, states Williams.  Seemage’s open XML-based architecture integrates seamlessly with enterprise systems and enables users to easily create compelling 3D-based composite documents directly on the desktop. This allows companies to leverage their strategic PLM investments and reuse this information for any type or size of product, whether a stereo, coffee machine, or an aircraft.

Dassault Systemes has now re-branded Seemage as 3DVIA Composer
