About
AVEVA is an industrial software company founded in 1967 at the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory and headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, that provides engineering design, operations management, and industrial information management software for asset-intensive industries. The company was built around the belief that the engineering and operational complexity of industries like oil and gas, power, chemicals, and mining requires purpose-built software — not adapted enterprise platforms. AVEVA's mission is to help industrial organizations improve engineering performance, operational efficiency, and sustainability through connected industrial intelligence. Schneider Electric completed its full acquisition of AVEVA in January 2023.\n\nAVEVA's platform spans the industrial lifecycle: AVEVA E3D for 3D engineering design, AVEVA MES for manufacturing execution, AVEVA PI System for operations data management, AVEVA Unified Operations Center for real-time operational visibility, and AVEVA Predictive Analytics for asset performance management. The PI System, acquired through its 2018 merger with OSIsoft, is the de facto standard for industrial time-series data infrastructure in process industries. AVEVA's software is deployed by over 20,000 enterprises across more than 100 countries, serving sectors including energy, chemicals, food and beverage, mining, and water utilities.\n\nAVEVA reported trailing twelve-month revenue of approximately $1.55 billion as of November 2025, with annual recurring revenue growing 16% year over year and 77% of revenue coming from recurring software subscriptions — a significant shift from its heritage as a perpetual license vendor. IDC named AVEVA a Leader in its 2024-2025 Manufacturing Execution Systems MarketScape. Its Schneider Electric ownership provides strategic capital, energy management integration opportunities, and a global sales infrastructure that amplifies AVEVA's reach into industrial customers undergoing digital transformation.

About
Dassault Systèmes is a French industrial software company founded in 1981 as a spinoff from Avions Marcel Dassault, the aerospace manufacturer, and headquartered in Vélizy-Villacoublay, France. The company was created to commercialize CATIA, the 3D design software originally developed for aircraft design, and has since expanded into the broadest portfolio of product lifecycle management (PLM) and simulation software in the world. Dassault Systèmes trades on Euronext Paris under the ticker DSY with a mission to provide businesses and people with 3DEXPERIENCE universes to imagine sustainable innovations capable of harmonizing product, nature, and life.\n\nDassault Systèmes' portfolio spans its 3DEXPERIENCE platform and eleven industry solution brands: CATIA (3D design), SOLIDWORKS (mainstream CAD), SIMULIA (simulation and analysis), ENOVIA (PLM and collaboration), DELMIA (manufacturing), BIOVIA (life sciences), GEOVIA (mining and natural resources), EXALEAD (search and analytics), NETVIBES (intelligence dashboards), 3DVIA (3D visualization), and CENTRIC PLM (fashion and retail). The 3DEXPERIENCE platform unifies these capabilities into a single cloud-based environment for end-to-end product innovation. The company serves 370,000+ customers in aerospace and defense (Airbus, Lockheed Martin), automotive (VW, BMW, Renault), life sciences, and industrial equipment.\n\nDassault Systèmes reported €6.21 billion in revenue for 2024, up 5% year over year, with 3DEXPERIENCE platform revenue growing 22% in Q4 2024 as cloud adoption accelerates among its enterprise customer base. The company's partnerships with Volkswagen Group, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, and BMW are flagship validations of its platform's applicability to the most complex product engineering programs in the world. With simulation, digital twin, and virtual experience capabilities increasingly central to how industrial companies design and operate, Dassault Systèmes is positioned as the dominant platform for the science-based, 3D-driven future of product innovation.
