CAA V5 (component application architecture) is Dassault Systemes'
open middleware and development environment for PLM. This powerful associativity enables
users to open native SolidWorks files directly into SURFCAM, thus completely
eliminating the translation process.solidworks. Magellan is a public company whose
shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: MAL), with corporate
offices in Mississauga, ON, Canada and operating units throughout Canada ,
the United States and the United Kingdom. IBM
Sales & Distribution, which supports more than a dozen key industries
worldwide, works with companies of all sizes around the world to deploy the
full range of IBM technologies.

Greater control over data and process enables suppliers to work more
efficiently and responsively, enhancing their competitive ability while
optimizing collaboration and compliance with any given customer. Its offering includes
integrated PLM solutions for product development (CATIA, DELMIA,

The CAA V5
Software Community Program is dedicated to ISVs (independent software
vendors) willing to develop, sell and support CAA V5-based
applications that are fully integrated with CATIA, ENOVIA, and DELMIA
V5. We have been able to achieve a
30-35% improvement in effectiveness of engineers' time, and, by bringing
our product information and configuration under control, we have
significantly reduced risk and waste and created opportunities for later
incorporation of design maturity.
