CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 1998--
SolidWorks Corporation also Certified as Microsoft Solution Provider
SolidWorks Corporation, a Dassault Systemes S.A. (Nasdaq:DASTY)
company, today announced that SolidWorks(R) 98 solid modeling software has
been certified by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) as Windows 98
compatible. SolidWorks Corporation has also recently received certification
as a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider (MCSP). SolidWorks 98 is 100%
compliant with all Windows user interactions. This certification further
demonstrates SolidWorks' commitment to providing comprehensive, affordable,
easy-to-use Windows-based solid modeling software solutions to every
engineer.
First released in November 1995, SolidWorks software was designed as the
first Windows-native 3D mechanical design system for mainstream engineers.
SolidWorks delivers Windows ease-of-use combined with sophisticated solid
modeling capabilities, and offers 2D CAD users an easy migration path to 3D
modeling, resulting in a rapid learning curve, fewer design errors, and a
better, faster, more efficient way to design. Today, SolidWorks is the
fastest growing company in the history of the CAD/CAM software industry,
and in just over 2 years of shipping product, SolidWorks has received 13
industry awards and has sold over 15,000 seats of software to customers
worldwide.
"This partnership between SolidWorks and Microsoft is a key factor in the
future growth of the CAD/CAM industry," noted Jon K. Hirschtick, CEO of
SolidWorks. "Today's engineers are looking for a simple solution to their
design needs. SolidWorks' continued support of the Windows platform
represents our commitment to providing users with a high-performance, 3D
solid modeling solution in a familiar environment. We strongly believe that
Windows will continue to be the platform of choice in the CAD/CAM market."
"SolidWorks continually proves the viability of the Windows platform in
supporting sophisticated, high-performance and reliable engineering
solutions," said Brenda Nicholson, engineering business development manager
at Microsoft Corporation. " SolidWorks 98 is the perfect tool for improving
an engineer's productivity in ways that simply aren't possible with
Unix-based design software, for example, by seamlessly exchanging design
data with frequently used office and enterprise applications. By quickly
supporting Windows 98, SolidWorks demonstrates their commitment to support
leading edge technology and their ability to deliver on their commitments."
