The partner status extends to the Dassault Systèmes products CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, 3DVia Composer, 3D Live and Business Process Accelerators. The expanded partnership encompasses, inter alia, the sale of solutions in the US, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. From now on CENIT, with its numerous branch offices, as well as the German subsidiary cad scheffler acquired by the Group in late 2007, can fulfill Dassault’s requirements across the board at all strategic locations. CENIT Group has also proven itself for years as a successful and top-selling business partner of the French software manufacturer, and continues to sell the PLM solutions CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA with great success. “The new partner status enables CENIT to manage the entire process as a completely independent reseller. This has clear advantages for the end customer. From now on, customers can obtain the entire package, consisting of hardware, the Dassault solutions, additional CENIT software, as well as all support services, directly from one counterpart”, says CENIT Board Member Kurt Bengel. As a special service, the VAR customers thus not only get an attractive support package from the PLM specialist, but also cost-free access to an efficient and transparent online license management system. Through this, customers can calculate their investment budgets and current costs in the best possible way. “With CENIT, we were able to win as a Dassault reseller the most successful PLM business partner of the past 10 years in the German-speaking part of Europe”, explains Achim Löhr, Dassault Systèmes Director PLM Value Channel Germany, Austria, Switzerland the decision. He adds: “We expect that the expanded partnership and the resulting strengthening of the Dassault Channel will enable us to grow strongly, particularly in the small and medium business sector. With its excellent industry knowledge, the CENIT Group can already list a number of interesting new customers and a stable customer base in this segment. This is of course a decisive advantage when considering the fact that, currently, about 45% of the CATIA customer base consists of businesses with fewer than 10 PLM workspaces. In our experience, this sort of sector competence plays a significant role for customers in choosing their solution partner – along with flexibility and financial vitality, two additional strengths that CENIT has demonstrated over the past years”.
