Leader in Products and Systems for Electrical Installations and
Information Networks Deploys MatrixOne PLM Platform Globally;
Allows Dispersed Teams to Effectively Collaborate on Product
Development Efforts MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONEE), a leading
provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM)
solutions for the value chain(TM), today announced that the Legrand
Group, the world specialist in products and systems for electrical
installations and information networks, has selected the MatrixOne
PLM platform as the cornerstone of its product development
environment. To be deployed throughout the Legrand Group, the
MatrixOne solution will enable the Group's international product
development teams to access, organize and share critical new
product development information in real-time. The decision to
select the MatrixOne PLM platform was driven by a number of factors
including Legrand's requirements for scalability, collaboration,
ease-of-use and personalization. "The MatrixOne solution is
extremely user-friendly, with a much more natural man/machine
interface than our previous solution," said Jean-Paul Chanal, the
PDM project manager for Legrand. "Its ease-of-use is an important
point worth highlighting, as we are now able to share data via our
intranet across all the sites of the Group, using a standard IT
architecture. Another decisive criterion was the high level of
personalization possible. We need a solution that can adapt to the
company's requirements, and MatrixOne delivers that flexibility. We
now have the capacity internally to execute specific settings and
configurations as required." "The MatrixOne platform saves us an
enormous amount of time at the design and concept stages,"
continues Chanal. "Not only because of the ease of use, but also
thanks to the reliable distribution of product data to our global
teams. The fact that everyone has access to the most recent version
makes file management much less time-consuming and
labour-intensive. Furthermore, by integrating our mechanical and
electronic CAO solutions, we can synchronize product design across
engineering disciplines. The whole product development process
thereby becomes more efficient and less costly--and we reduce our
time-to-market. That is the real added value of the MatrixOne
solution." "By deploying the MatrixOne platform, Legrand is
enabling its geographically dispersed work teams to collaborate
better and stay connected through access to real-time information,"
said Henri Carasso, General Manager for MatrixOne Southern Europe.
"This eliminates communication barriers and drives faster
decision-making, delivering higher levels of quality and
innovation, and ultimately giving Legrand a competitive advantage
over other players in the market." About Legrand Legrand is the
