Nissan Expands New Vehicle Programs With Additional Seats

    CINCINNATI - SDRC , a global supplier of e-business collaboration solutions for the product lifecycle, today announced that Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. has placed a $1.1 million order of I-DEAS software and services for its Farmington Hills facility. The installation of additional seats of I-DEAS is a result of new vehicle programs to the supplier community and increasing staff size.

    "Expanding our relationship with Nissan elevates SDRC's growing presence within the automotive industry," said Bill Weyand, chairman and CEO of SDRC. "The further deployment of I-DEAS confirms Nissan's commitment to its business goal of digital vehicle creation across business units in four continents, including product concept, packaging, simulation, and prototypes. SDRC is pleased to be associated with a global market leader such as Nissan."

    In 1998, SDRC and Nissan entered into a multi-year, world-wide collaboration for an estimated Nissan investment of over $100 million in SDRC products and services. Since that time, Nissan has standardized on SDRC's e-Design Automation and Product Knowledge Management solutions.
