IBM and MSC Software Corporation

Delivered over the fully integrated and extendable SimEnterprise platform, the company's integrated virtual product development tools use detailed digital product models to simulate and verify every aspect of product performance. This empowers manufacturers to make and track critical design decisions and communicate and coordinate product development with all points of the enterprise, driving product innovation and quality to new and competitively sustainable levels.

Based on a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), MSC’s SimEnterprise platform enables open connectivity between designers, analysts, and other simulation stakeholders for a highly collaborative design ecosystem, allowing each stakeholder to work within their preferred environments. With SimEnterprise, product development stakeholders, regardless of application preference or global location, can easily collaborate and manage simulation and simulation-based design information to accelerate product development in a highly cost-efficient manner.

Understanding how a product will behave in the real world, requires a multidisciplinary approach. MSC Software is committed to providing you with an enterprise level solution to improve time-to-market, ensure right-to-market, and reduce overall product development cycle time.
