MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), a leading provider of collaborative
product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions for the value
chain(TM), today announced that Faurecia, France's number one
automotive supplier, has chosen MatrixOne's PLM platform to manage
all of its product development information and enable seamless
product collaboration amongst its design offices, program teams and
factories throughout 160 international sites. In order to enable
Faurecia to standardize its technical data management system and a
number of associated engineering processes, MatrixOne has worked
closely with the automotive supplier since 2004 to develop a 'core
system' encompassing all of its needs in this area. "We wanted to
implement a collaborative solution which was easy and quick to
deploy and would be common to all activities, while still allowing
for additional developments to accommodate the specific needs of
certain groups," said Valery Beulne, PLM project manager at
Faurecia. "MatrixOne's solution gives us the flexibility we need."
Today, over 3,500 employees use the system to manage bills of
material (BOM), manipulate CAD information, and handle customer
modification requests and associated costs. "By deploying
MatrixOne's solution, Faurecia now has the means to optimally share
relevant information amongst its teams and thereby meet the
specific requirements of its customers more effectively and
efficiently," said Jean-Luc Dosne, MatrixOne, France. The
international deployment of the platform should be completed in
2006 with a total of 5,000 users on the system. Faurecia also plans
to expand the solution to incorporate its main partners and thereby
accelerate information exchange. "Faurecia is an excellent example
of how our PLM solution is perfectly suited to the demands of the
automobile market," commented Henri Carasso, regional sales
director for MatrixOne. "In an industry where time-to-market is
increasingly short, MatrixOne's solution enables acceleration of
the development process in a collaborative environment while
ensuring product quality." About Faurecia Faurecia is a world
