Alliance

Alliance has been a key strategy for CAXA’s business model.　CAXA focus on its best value-added domain expertise to develop strategic components in its solutions, and supplementing other required technology by working with world leaders in each respective field. There are two categories of CAXA technology alliance: PLM partners and 3rd party partners.

CAXA OEM technology or products from its PLM partners to be included in its solution offerings. In particular, CAXA has entered strategic alliance with DASSAULT SYSTEMES. A "CAXA- DASSAULT SYSTEMES Joint R&D Center" was established in 2004 with the mission of extending PLM value. CAXA V5 PLM is developed on top of DASSAULT SYSTEMES CAA V5 framework and includes CATIA and SMARTEAM product components. 3rd party partners develop add-ons on top of CAXA's platform.
