Dassault Systèmes Dividend 2024

Dassault Systèmes S.E., sometimes known as 3DS, is a corporation that offers design services, simulation, and a series of products focused on three-dimensional (3D) visualization.

It was founded in 1981 in France, as a way to find solutions for the aerospace industry that needed sophisticated drawing tools for their complex aviation models, thus commercializing a 3D surface software CATI, which they later named as CATIA, immediately partnering with the IBM company through a marketing and sales agreement.

The software was used for the development of 70% of the world's airplanes and automobiles, with clients such as BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Boeing, who were able to simulate a preview of their products, which when combined with the 3DEXPERIENCIE platform allows products to be modeled in the context where they will be located or operate in real life.

Starting in 1997, a series of acquisitions began that allowed him to incorporate his DELMIA brand, such as SolidWorks and Deneb Robotics, enabling the connection of the software to the Internet in 1998, which allowed 3D models to be viewed in web browsers. The following year he purchased Soluciones Inteligentes and Matra Datavisión, as well as Abaqus, Virtools, MatrixOne linked with ENOVIA to create technology and medical devices, launching the 3DVIA brand in 2007.

The company diversifies its services by incorporating brands that offer data management, IT, business analytics, marketing, planet modeling, among others.

It has more than 20,000 employees with offices in Paris, Shanghai and Boston, serving 290,000 customers worldwide and 25 million users.
