Welcome to 2024! I trust this message finds you rejuvenated after a joyous holiday season, surrounded by comfort, joy, and the warmth of loved ones.
As we step into this New Year, I am excited for the journey that lies ahead for all of us at Dassault Systèmes and GEOVIA. The quote, "What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year," resonates strongly with our ethos. We are committed to bringing innovation, collaboration, and transformative energy to this year.
In our pursuit of excellence, GEOVIA has exciting plans for engagement, both within Dassault Systèmes and with our valued clients. Our commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in the upcoming releases across various portfolios. GEOVIA is introducing incredible capabilities that can significantly elevate your sustainability efforts. We are dedicated to enhancing the modeling capabilities of your resources, focusing on making them faster, more intelligent, and closely aligned with the real world. These advancements aim to provide you with greater accuracy in resource planning, ultimately supporting your journey toward becoming a more sustainable enterprise.
In strategic mine planning, we are introducing unique roles that will set new standards and captivate your interest. In strategic mine design, we are introducing an Underground Mine Designer role to complement our Surface Mine Designer role, providing a comprehensive perspective on mine design within your operations. Additionally, we are unveiling impressive releases in our geospatial portfolio—a hallmark of our reputation. When referencing your assets and environment geospatially, considering how that reference aligns with the real world is crucial. Through our geospatial capabilities, we aim to accurately position your assets on the globe, bringing enhanced value to your operations.
I want to thank the R&D team for their continued efforts and support in releasing the next-generation offers.
I would like to highlight that all three of these portfolios are frequently cloud-based. We are placing a strong emphasis on harnessing the advantages of cloud technology, encompassing cloud computing, storage, and analytics. Collaborating with other Dassault Systèmes brands enables us to offer a highly enriched environment, facilitating a deeper understanding of your enterprise. This is essential for creating comprehensive virtual twins that play a crucial role in enhancing the clarity of your operations.
I firmly believe that providing products with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform connectivity is crucial for our client's success. Innovation thrives on collaboration, and to unlock enterprise potential, seamless collaboration is paramount. This development focus will persist in the upcoming year. The GEOVIA team is eager to understand challenges, welcome feedback, and strives to make our products and platform integral to our clients' success.
Certainly, looking back at 2023 prompts a moment of reflection. The year presented global challenges, including geopolitical complexities and persistent worries regarding climate change. It underscores the ongoing imperative to prioritize sustainability and adopt sustainable practices. We continued our journey to build a new portfolio on a new and modern technology stack on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. We remain committed to advancing solutions that enhance data integration, and collaboration, and elevate mining processes' ESG/sustainability KPIs.
As we gear up for an exciting year with numerous releases and planned activities, the GEOVIA User Community will be a key source of information and active engagement. I strongly encourage those who have not joined to become part of this community. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to understand how to enhance our services and push boundaries to support your journey toward a more sustainable enterprise. Please stay actively engaged with us.
Lastly, I want to extend my best wishes for a fantastic 2024. The world has undergone significant changes, and 2023 marked a transitional period. Our brand promise, "Model the Sustainable Planet" remains central to our core, guiding our development choices and behaviour for the future.
