Processia Solutions Selects Actify's SpinFire for VPMViz

MONTREAL--Sept. 29, 2003--Processia Solutions, a leader in providing PLM services for ENOVIA, SMARTEAM and CATIA suite of products from Dassault Systemes, announces that it has selected technology from Actify to act as the 2D/3D CAD embedded viewer of VPMViz, the 3D portal to ENOVIA VPM data. Unlike other applications, which offer you a large amount of unused functions, VPMViz is a simple, straight to the point solution, to query your ENOVIA VPM database, sample parts and models information and view 3D and 2D CATIA models.

"After a thorough evaluation of various 2D/3D CAD viewing solutions, we have chosen to integrate Actify in our .NET application because of its simplicity and flexibility," said Philippe Hammond, director of R&D at Processia Solutions.

In order to commercialize VPMViz and with visualization technology from Actify, both companies have signed a distribution agreement that will give Processia Solutions the right to sell Actify products and to integrate Actify technology in its software products.

"This partnership is part of our ongoing effort to develop strong relationships with software developers like Processia Solutions and bring 2D/3D CAD design visualization solutions to the PLM market," said Randy Ochs, president and CEO of Actify. Customers are expecting this functionality to be part of their PLM solution and we are pleased that Processia has chosen Actify technology as their embedded solution of choice for their VPMViz customers."

In the next years, Processia will continue to support VPMViz and develop additional software products around the Actify products. "Using our PLM integration and development expertise with Actify products, we are now also able to propose custom portal solutions to meet customer's demand," said Vincent Fraser, director of Sales and Marketing at Processia Solutions.
