North American Organization to Continue Acceleration of 3DEXPERIENCE in United States and Canada
VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France – October 24, 2013 — Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced the spin-off of Inceptra LLC, its sales and services subsidiary in North America, via a management buyout. After having successfully spun-off its business partners Keonys in 2008 and Transcat PLM in 2012, Dassault Systèmes is continuing its strategy of strengthening its partners’ business success.
As a leading provider of best-in-class 3DEXPERIENCE applications and services to engineering and manufacturing businesses across a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment, and others, Inceptra will remain dedicated exclusively to the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform and complementary, best-in-class industry solution experiences.

Inceptra’s role in providing consulting and support services has been invaluable to our customers,” said Bernard Charlès, President & CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “Inceptra and Dassault Systèmes have a long history together. This closeness, this working together for the success of our customers, has bred a strong loyalty and a deep commitment to our joint vision. Together, we will continue to help our joint customers capitalize on their investments in innovation, collaboration and productivity.”

“Inceptra has been a successful case study in Dassault Systèmes’ channel partner network,” said Bruno Latchague, Executive Vice President, Global Sales Strategy & Operations, Dassault Systèmes. “We’ve seen, as with Dassault Systèmes’ spin-offs of other close partners, that an independent partner only enhances the value we can bring to customers, among others.
