Product Lifecycle Management company finds success with Conversis

Dassault Systemes is a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. With over 90,000 customers in 80 countries, Dassault develops and markets PLM software and services that support industrial processes and provide a 3D vision of the entire lifecycle of products from conception through manufacture to in-service maintenance. The ENOVIA portfolio was designed to assist manufacturing companies with the product development process.

What do we do for Dassault?

We work with Dassault to translate and localise the full ENOVIA portfolio as well as the supporting guides and documentation. This involves translation and localisation when the product is sold in a foreign market as well as regular software updates to existing ENOVIA software.

For Dassault, two key elements of our service are essential: timeliness and experience in manufacturing. When a customer commits to a purchase, ENOVIA must be delivered on time, and that means we stick to our timetable every time. Overruns could lead to the loss of a sale. And because the ENOVIA products are so complex, we have to use translators and software engineers with a thorough understanding of the manufacturing industry. Only in this way can we ensure quality and consistency on every translation, and every update.

The ENOVIA account requires specialist attention as the file formats we translate and localise are unique. First our engineers extract the translatable information from the files, and once that is translated, proofread and verified by technical validators and industry experts, it is imputed back into the correct file formats for Dassault.

We then conduct regression testing on Dassault’s premises. This involves bug reporting, recompiling and re-testing through to final localised software builds. This ensures that all appropriate idioms, concepts, images, colours and words are used in the target versions.

A long term partnership

Dassault requires a reliable and cost-effective translation and localisation supplier that can deliver accurate translations, provide solutions to technical issues and demonstrate flexibility. And that is what Conversis provides.

“Conversis can solve all technical problems. We have found Conversis to be committed to our projects and as a result they provide an excellent translation and localisation service within strict deadlines and at a very competitive price,” said Marie Powell, project manager and software engineer at Dassault.

“It is a pleasure to work with Conversis. All projects have been successful and we at Dassault know that Conversis will do all that they can to help.”
