FOR RELEASE Wednesday, July 14, 2004
NEW YORK– UGS, a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced a new family of software products that enable high performance and superior quality interoperability between several of its PLM applications and CATIA® V5. Unlike many interoperability solutions, these new products do not require the user to have CATIA V5 in order to use them. Powered by UGS’ PLM XML component software, they will be available directly from UGS and work with the company’s NX, Teamcenter, and E-factory products.
UGS made the announcement in conjunction with its analyst/media briefing event being held July 14-15 in New York. The briefing is the first such event UGS has held since announcing on May 27 the closing of its sale by EDS to three private equity firms and its launch of operations as an independent software company under the UGS brand.
“Our customers conduct their business in an extended global community that requires data sharing among a large network of PLM software products,” said Bruce Feldt, vice president of Open Tools, UGS. “To be successful in this new environment of open innovation, PLM software companies must provide technologies enabling their applications to easily and accurately share data. We believe, to be a true partner with our customers we must supply those technologies as part of an open business model that helps to eliminate artificial and expensive barriers to data sharing and interoperability. The new products we are announcing today provide the high performance and functionality our customers require with the interoperability and openness they have come to expect from UGS.”
Today’s announcement includes three new products as well as an enhancement to an existing product.
The new interoperability products announced today are the latest additions to UGS’ support for the proprietary CATIA V5 data format. The product data management solution within Teamcenter currently offers the industry’s most extensive multi-CAD support including the ability to manage both CATIA V5 and CATIA V4 data in the same environment. As the leading supplier of open solutions to the PLM industry, UGS continues to expand the ability of its software products to work seamlessly in heterogeneous environments under an open business model.
