SmarTeam and Oce-USA Partner to Deliver Integrated Product Collaboration and Enterprise Print Management Solutions to Manufacturers

     Integration to be demonstrated at the Catia Operators Exchange (COE)
                     conference this week in Anaheim, CA

    BEVERLY, Mass., April 2 Smart Solutions, a Dassault
Systemes company and its Americas subsidiary, SmarTeam Inc.,
today announced formation of a partnership with Oce-USA, Inc., whereby the two
companies will integrate the Oce Engineering Exec(R) suite of enterprise print
management solutions, with SmarTeam's collaborative product commerce (CPC)
offerings.
    The integration will provide customers with the ability to track, manage,
archive and print a full range of product development information over
networks and the Internet.  Additionally, the resulting ability to share
information enterprise-wide within an organization and throughout its extended
enterprise via the Web will save customers substantial time and expense.
SmarTeam and Oce-USA will be demonstrating the new capabilities at the CATIA
Operator's Exchange (COE) meeting, taking place this week in Anaheim, Calif.
    Avichay Nissenbaum, vice president of product marketing for Smart
Solutions, said, "The SmarTeam integration with Oce Engineering Exec software
is a quick and easy field installation, and will provide existing SmarTeam
customers with seamless printing support for the significant base of legacy
drawings, blueprints, aperture cards and other existing product designs that
are in non-electronic format at most manufacturing firms. Once scanned, this
legacy data becomes an integral part of the CPC system, as though it had been
created in an electronic format.  SmarTeam manages the storage and management
of legacy and proprietary information, in multi-CAD environments, and is the
only CPC solution to currently provide this benefit.  The partnership with
Oce-USA will allow our customers to manage, print and plot any document from
any source."
    "Today as a CAA V5 partner, Oce Engineering Exec software offers CATIA
users enterprise print management capabilities.  Our partnership with SmarTeam
further extends these benefits into the CPC marketplace and really delivers on
the promise of an efficient, networked enterprise," states Ron Butterman,
marketing director of software for the Oce Wide Format  Printing Systems
business unit.  "In addition, since this integration can be done in the field,
existing Oce Engineering Exec software and SmarTeam users can benefit
immediately from this partnership. Our customers can now extend their
capabilities into the rapidly emerging CPC market".
    Oce Engineering Exec software provides the tools necessary to effortlessly
archive, control, manage and distribute small and wide-format documents to any
printing system, and is geared toward the management of CAD and other design
documents in organizations such as manufacturing, engineering,
telecommunications, government and utilities.  Oce Engineering Exec software
also offers integration with ERP and other document management systems, and
with SmarTeam, has its first CPC integration.
    SmarTeam's broad CPC solutions portfolio enables small-to-medium-sized
manufacturing organizations and their supply chains to efficiently exchange,
track and manage design information related to product development from
concept to realization.
