Dassault Systemes and EskoArtwork establish partnership

EskoArtwork has joined Dassault Systèmes’ DS Software Community Program, through which the two companies will collaborate on product development. EskoArtwork and Dassault Systèmes recently worked with Procter & Gamble to help develop a new artwork and packaging process for the brand owner.

Dassault Systèmes’ Enovia V6 CPG Accelerator will be integrated with EskoArtwork’s Dynamic Content module for Adobe Illustrator, enabling users to edit and maintain label copy outside of Illustrator. By joining these products, users can manage all aspects of a label, from language and artwork copy management through to mapping and compliance. Users can auto populate and publish label content directly to Adobe Illustrator, reportedly reducing the time required for artwork creation to as little as a day. Companies will also be able to manage brand artwork on a global basis.

‘The implications of this joint solution are significant. This work is currently managed through a highly fragmented and piecemeal process, either through third party providers or internal resources. For global companies managing this process from end to end is significantly more complex for reasons such as language requirements and regional compliance issues,’ said Ray Wodar, director of CPG Industry Solutions, Dassault Systèmes. ‘By partnering with EskoArtwork, this joint solution will eliminate the inherent complexities and enable global, real-time collaboration while significantly reducing the time it takes to complete each project.’

In addition, the integration of EskoArtwork's Web Center Viewer, an electronic artwork e-proofing tool, with DS's Enovia Collaboration Platform and the CPG Accelerator, will enable users to virtually proof all aspects of labels and packaging.

‘By pairing our domain knowledge in artwork with Dassault Systèmes’ industry-specific PLM solutions, we're able to help customers tie their creative work directly into the product lifecycle,’ explained Dieter Janout, VP Global Business Group, EskoArtwork. ‘This enhances collaboration across organizations, helping to decrease time spent on the artwork process and accelerate product development cycles.’
