Stockholm, Sweden – June 23, 2008 – Tacton Systems, a global vendor of sales configuration software, today announced the extension of its partnership with Dassault Systèmes to become a CAA Adopter.    Tacton Systems’ standard integration to ENOVIA SmarTeam will be extended to include ENOVIA MatrixOne. Tacton Systems is the only sales configurator partner of ENOVIA SmarTeam, with a standard integration since release V5 R14.

Tacton Configurator empowers sales people, channel partners, and end-customers, to interactively configure complex products based on the customer’s needs, online on the Web or offline on a laptop. With the new integration into ENOVIA MatrixOne, which enables Enterprise IP management, manufacturers will be able to manage all sales configurator master data in the PLM workflow, which will decrease time-to-market and increase quality. The resulting custom-configured products can also be managed in the end-to-end PLM system, for traceability or for supporting custom engineering and order processing.

“We are proud that our sales configurator solution is recognized by Dassault Systèmes as a strategic value-add for the full ENOVIA platform. The synergy will bridge the gap between engineering and sales for complex products.” Klas Orsvärn, EVP Business Development, Tacton Systems AB.

“The Industrial Equipment industry is a ‘to-order’ sector dependent on customer-specific requirements. With seamless integration to Tacton’s sales configurator, our customers will be able to leverage the power of Dassault Sytèmes PLM Solutions,” says Alexandre Dessane, Director Industry Solutions, Dassault Systèmes.  “This dramatically speeds up the quote-to-order process, ultimately enabling the manufacturers to reduce time to market and start earning profits earlier.”
