IBM and Dassault Systemes (DS) have teamed to integrate IBM Lotus Notes and Dassault Systemes 3D XML technology, to be delivered with the next release version of 3D XML Player fully supporting Lotus Notes The 3D XML Player for Lotus Notes gives users outside the engineering department the ability to enhance collaboration and joint decision-making by sharing product and business information with other knowledge workers from their desktops, through the traditional Lotus Notes interface

With the 3DXML Player all users get a real 3D experience.

The attractive product rendering, projected shadows and automatic screenshot insertion, as well as the advanced navigation tools, facilitate access to 3D.

The interactive and intuitive 3D compass provides a unique 3D manipulation experience, and the immersive product tree gives easy access to product assembly organisation and components.

"3D Collaboration is the next wave of interactive technology for knowledge workers," said Ken Bisconti, Vice President of Workplace, Portal and Collaboration Products, IBM.

"The new Dassault Systemes 3DXML Player illustrates how the richness of 3D integrates with Lotus Notes email and Domino applications, and the DS 3DXML Player complements Notes/Domino software's leadership position." "Dassault Systemes' 3D XML technologies, integrated with IBM Lotus Notes and Domino, is a great illustration of how innovative companies will be able to capitalise on their existing investments by exploiting the right PLM applications based on XML," said Dominique Florack, Executive Vice President, Strategy, Research and Development, Dassault Systemes.
