ENOVIA SmarTeam Engineering Express – The worldwide road show…was close to your door…

Posted by mikilumnitz on July 8, 2008

2008 has been an interesting start not only for customers who decided to go for ENOVIA SmarTeam Engineering Express (SNE), but also for those who are promoting it all over the world: Naeem Dalal product marketing manager in Dassault Systèmes Israel and the solution manager of SNE, and Gilad Friedman Director of ENOVIA channel Sales, Dassault Systèmes Israel. Both guys have toured the world since February 08, delivering a one-day sales-oriented training dedicated for Sales people and project managers, followed by a 2-days technical training dedicated for Pre-sales and implementers.

The sales training focuses on the knowledge around selling the Express offering for the SMB market while discussing the main PLM challenges of these customers in the past and nowadays around their BOM management (EBOM, MBOM and more). Such experience has been acquired by the VARs who attend the training and are very knowledgeable about SmarTeam implementation.

The 2 days technical training combines a general overview of the solution, and a drill down into the “Concept to Manufacturing” process, through hands on exercises, thus showing how to execute the five major phases of the process easily and quickly using the out-of-the-box offering of ENOVIA SmarTeam Engineering Express.

The road show around the globe started in Stockholm, Sweden, then continued to North America:  Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit and LA. In AP region, the tour started in Singapore, then continued to Taipei, Beijing, Tokyo and ended up in Bangalore and Pune in India.

The tour will soon continue to Latin America, end of July!

The feedbacks so far are very positive, and attendees are very keen on starting new opportunities with SNE in their regions. Many even mentioned that they are interested in adopting some parts of the solution in their existing customer’s implementations.

Here are some of their quotes:

“I love it. We have the best platform to explain to potential customers — a lot of requests from customer will be fulfilled by the functionality of the new product. We think it is very good work; I am really impressed how fast the performance is.”

“I think it is a very good package; can’t wait to see the customers…”

“I think Express will give customers a ready-to-go solution which is quite beneficial; it is really a differentiator comparing to the competition.”
