IBM and Dassault Systèmes Integrate 3D XML Technologies With IBM Lotus Solutions

IBM and Dassault Systèmes have teamed to integrate IBM Lotus Notes and Dassault Systèmes 3D XML technology, to be delivered with the next release version of 3D XML Player fully supporting Lotus Notes. The 3D XML Player for Lotus Notes gives users outside the engineering department the ability to enhance collaboration and joint decision-making by sharing product and business information with other knowledge workers from their desktops, through the traditional Lotus Notes interface.

With the 3DXML Player all users get a real 3D experience. The attractive product rendering, projected shadows and automatic screenshot insertion, as well as the advanced navigation tools, facilitate access to 3D. The interactive & intuitive 3D compass provides a unique 3D manipulation experience, and the immersive product tree gives easy access to product assembly organization and components. The new 3D XML Player version will be available from the Dassault Systèmes web site (http://www.3ds.com/3dxml) with R16 — at no charge — by the end of the year.

The Lotus Notes and Domino 7 products, members of the IBM Workplace family, provide business-critical, enterprise-strength solutions that maximize both collaboration and user productivity, while helping to lower the total cost of ownership. With 3DXML, Dassault Systèmes is providing the means to extend the reach of 3D beyond traditional PLM users, by enabling all participants to share live, accurate 3D data quickly and easily. Customers will be able to use Lotus Notes and Domino messaging and collaboration platform with 3D data within its enterprise network of partners and suppliers.
