Dassault Systemes shows local sales growth of 52%

Dassault Systemes SA (DS), the worldwide product life cycle management (PLM) leader, experienced sales growth last year of 52 percent in Taiwan across its four major industry focus groups, it said yesterday.

For this year, the software company, which specializes in 3D simulation and PLM, forecast 30 percent year-on-year revenue growth for Taiwan market with the majority of its businesses coming from automobile, aerospace, electrical engineering and industrial engineering industries, with a breakdown of 34 percent, 28 percent, 27 percent and 10 percent respectively, it said.

Although global corporations are cutting their capital expenditure budgets, Bernard Parrenin, Dassault Systemes’ general manager of PLM Taiwan, is confident that with DS’ new V6R2009x PLM platform, incorporating 3D simulation, collaborative innovation, virtual design and testing, as well as digital production, the software company will attract even more local clients this year as companies re-invent themselves during periods of distress.

“For this year, we will focus on strengthening relationships with our installed base, promoting solutions in business management, providing end-to-end integrated solutions and continuing our high technology expertise through sub-segment focus,” Perrenin told reporters yesterday.

“We have been selected by CIMdata as the global PLM leader for three years in a row because we’re truly the only company helping our clients from concept to market. We add tremendous value to Taiwanese companies because we focus solely on the user experience,” he said.

Although it has flown under the radar, the French software group shared some of its star-studded client list including Asustek Computer Inc (華碩電腦), Aerospace Industrial Development Corp (漢翔航空), Global Unichip Corp (創意電子), Hua-chuan SSG Automobile Information Technical Center (華創車電) and FullConn Industry Inc (全康精密).

Dassault Systemes has been able to witness compounded annual growth rates averaging 17 percent for the last five years. Worldwide, Dassault earned US$1.97 billion last year with 8,000 employees and 100,000 customers globally.

In terms of global market share, Dassault ranks No. 1, followed by Siemens AG, Parametric Technology Corp, SAP AG and Oracle Corp.
