Announced and demonstrated for the first time at Supply Chain World Conference & Exhibition 2003 in Atlanta, Ga., ETM and SMARTSCOR enable companies to easily visualize, analyze, and reduce complexities in today's sophisticated global supply chain environments. Originally developed for companies trying to implement the SCOR model, SMARTSCOR consists of supply chain management tools and technologies supported by world-class methodology, software, and infrastructure. ETM is based on the supply chain operations reference, or SCOR, model developed and promoted by Supply-Chain Council, Inc., the industry's leading advocacy group. SMARTSCOR enables users to exploit intelligence surrounding a company's operating processes and modeling capabilities, make higher-quality business decisions, and more effectively apply important corporate knowledge. The offering is expandable and scalable, depending on a firm's specific needs, and includes workflow management and seamless integration with existing enterprise systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and PLM solutions. "Business today is extraordinarily complex and full of constant process variation, which makes it difficult for companies to efficiently manage critical supply chain operations necessary for success," said Bruce Van Nus, vice president of Dassault Systemes Services and president of Dassault Systemes, Inc. "ETM provides companies with a unified reference model that allows them to visualize, navigate, and optimize these essential processes, thereby eliminating many of the inherent complexities of the supply chain framework. In doing so, corporations are able to analyze and understand supply chain weaknesses, and then take corrective action which results in cost reductions, decreased risk, and higher performance." - more - 3 Dassault Systemes, StreamlineSCM Introduce Enterprise Transaction Model and SMARTSCOR 2-2-2 "Although the SCOR model has been effective at addressing a myriad of supply chain management issues, ETM goes well beyond SCOR to present a graphical representation of a company's operating processes, and the means for immediately analyzing and fixing pressing problems, said Greg Peck, general manager of StreamlineSCM, LLC. "ETM is more than simply a combination of technologies for effective supply chain management. It is a viable business methodology that empowers companies to take control of these processes, make more informed decisions, and improve overall corporate performance." The SMARTSCOR solution and ETM offering is comprised of a number of sophisticated technologies for managing intricate supply chain infrastructures, including: o SMARTSCOR, a set of customized SCOR tools based on Dassault Systemes' SMARTEAM(TM) PLM Solutions, and specifically modified for a particular customer environment. o Training, analysis methodology, and customized software solutions based on the SCOR model. o Dassault Systemes' PLM reference framework. o Integration with existing customer enterprise systems, including CRM, ERP, SCM, and PLM. o Multiple configurations, depending on a customer's individual needs and issues. o System implementation and support.

"Despite the continued global slowdown in investments throughout 2002, Dassault Systemes and its partner IBM had a solid year in PLM by achieving industry-leading growth of over 25% in collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) new license sales," said Ken Amann, director of research at CIMdata, Inc., a leading PLM research and advisory firm. "Among the leading cPDm providers, only Dassault Systemes delivered year-over-year growth in 2002, while its competitors saw their respective sales remain flat, or decline, in comparison to 2001 figures." "Without question, 2002 was a breakout year for Dassault Systemes' PDM business, as the company outperformed top competitors by a wide margin in this important market segment," said Bernard Charles, president and CEO of Dassault Systemes. "The combination of Dassault Systemes' ENOVIA and SMARTEAM offerings, serving as the product knowledge and process infrastructure, constitutes a cohesive PDM solution of unmatched breadth and scope. The wide adoption of these offerings by customers, within the overall Dassault Systemes PLM environment, is a resounding endorsement of the company's mission to deliver on the promise of PLM throughout and across the extended enterprise. With strong fourth quarter finishes by both ENOVIA and SMARTEAM, these impressive results illustrate the success of the company's PLM strategy, and its ability to provide customers with robust PDM solutions that address and respond to complex business needs." According to the company's 2002 financial results, Dassault Systemes' overall PDM revenue rose 33% in the fourth quarter to (euro)30.9 million, up from (euro)23.3 million during the same period a year ago. For the year, PDM revenue, on a stand-alone basis, increased 25% to (euro)82.7 million, up from (euro)65.9 million in 2001. This revenue is comprised of sales of the company's overall PDM offering, currently consisting of the ENOVIA and SMARTEAM branded solutions. # # # 5 Dassault Systemes Is Fastest Growing Company In PDM According to CIMdata 2-2-2 About Dassault Systemes As world leader in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solutions, the Dassault Systemes group brings value to more than 60,000 customers in 80 countries.
