"The steps we have taken in response to COVID-19 are designed to empower our employees, partners and customers with innovative solutions that help them work from anywhere with the full potential of 3DEXPERIENCE collaboration," said Bernard Charlès, Vice President and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. "We have implemented many new approaches to accelerate innovations in R&D, manufacturing engineering and logistics. We are taking full advantage of the online experiences of the virtual twins. Empowering our large 3D user base to collaborate from home is an important aspect of their mood as they can continue their projects and learn together with a positive outlook.

The 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform is fully operational for employees and customers and provides them with secure remote working capabilities with their project and program data.

In the face of social distancing measures and workplace closures, many customers must now work remotely. The 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform is fully operational, providing them with advanced remote working capabilities to organize, plan, track and execute project development remotely.

Customers can continue to work with their data and maintain business, operational and digital continuity from the security of their homes by extending their communities, project and business management to a virtual cloud environment.

Our vertical solutions for life sciences and health are being developed to solve the challenges of short-term biopharmaceutical clinical trials, as well as to streamline logistics platforms.
Dassault Systèmes' industry-proven solutions, based on Medidata's award-winning platforms, enable biopharmaceutical companies, academic researchers and startups to analyze and share data to foster collaborative innovation in science and generate clinical trial results faster, and to optimize their manufacturing processes to meet demand.

The company is working to deliver new solutions to the biopharmaceutical organizations that are at the heart of this innovation to help them accelerate their work. SIMULIA's fluid simulation application, XFlow, has already enabled the designers of the newly built Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan, China to design and simulate their air supply and exhaust systems.

Customer support teams dedicated to expanding our customers' facilities to work from home.
Dassault Systèmes has facilitated access to a 3D cloud-based repository to secure customer data storage for their remote workers - connecting data and legacy users on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform - as well as scalable 3D cloud-based collaboration with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for all users - including CATIA V5, SOLIDWORKS and multi-CAD.
Flexible online collaboration conditions for existing customers to work remotely and new online training offerings
Dassault Systèmes leverages best practices to help its value-added resellers ensure project and service continuity. Service teams are fully operational and equipped to work remotely to help partners meet objectives with minimal impact. Initiatives include flexibility in the use of licenses for redeployment of custom teams and assistance in the transition to the cloud.

The company is also launching a comprehensive set of online learning, self-paced training and online certification programs so that partners can improve competence and skills while working remotely.

3DEXPERIENCE Education offers collaborative online learning experiences to enrich our users' certification and curricula during periods of decreased workload.
The learning experiences are being systematically integrated into Dassault Systèmes' cloud offerings so that customer employees can quickly become self-employed to work from home on new projects, and learn new skills to increase a company's agility when it returns to full production after the crisis has subsided.

Dassault Systèmes offers access to a comprehensive catalogue of learning experiences in areas such as collaboration, design, engineering, simulation, manufacturing and production so that people can learn new skills.

Continuity of services for educational institutions and online curricula
Customers of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can continue their projects with full online collaboration with their students.

Customers who do not yet have access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can accelerate their transition through pilot projects, government initiatives to deploy the platform on a national scale, and full online empowerment of teachers.

The company is working with its vocational education partners to provide training programs for professionals to increase their employability and be a driving force for post-crisis transformation.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab's global community is accelerating the take-off of a wide range of startups that are developing open innovations to address the challenges of COVID-19.
A dedicated committee has been created in record time to validate selected startups for a rapid acceleration program that will provide collaborative engineering applications, marketing services and solution development mentoring. This will be done by simulating and validating its efficiency with medical scientists through the provision of rapid production to support the needs of local hospitals.

Open Innovation aims to solve issues such as 3D printing of spare parts or design acceleration for fan/breather manufacturing with an open community of volunteers, engineers, designers, manufacturers, experts, scientists, creators and builders.

The "COVID-19 Open Community" on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform brings together members of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab from the United States, United Kingdom, India, France and the Netherlands to work with startups.
