Jul 7, 2004 – (HostReview.com) -- IBM (www.ibm.com) and Dassault Systemes (www.3ds.com) today announced a specialized product lifecycle management (PLM) Industry Solution for Electronics manufacturers designed to help them better manage the growing complexity of electronic product development. "Collaborative Systems Engineering for Electronics" (CSE-E) is a strategic solution enabling companies to drive their product development process from needs identification to final product qualification and delivery.

CSE-E is based on SMARTEAM, an industry-leading collaborative product data and lifecycle management solution, and DS PLM Practices developed by Dassault Systemes.
"Rapid innovation and collaborative development are critical to success in the electronics industry, particularly in fast-moving consumer segments such as ours," said Riger Font, CEO, Fontini Electrical Appliances, based in Spain.

The solution optimizes the early definition stages of product development when companies establish the requirements, functions and systems architecture of a new product, and generally commit to up to 80% of its cost. CSE-E also shortens time-to-market by facilitating design reuse from the earliest stages of the development process, and reduces the costs and risks associated with the launch of a new product.
