Information system

The company succeeded in innovating very early on (developing CATIA) and promoting digital solutions to equip its processes and improve its products, for the benefit of:

• the users of our civilian and military products: embedded software, human-machine interfaces, etc.;
• the design of our aircraft, right up to manufacturing: modeling and simulation tools, CAD/CAM, technical data management, COBOTs, etc.;
• the support available for our aircraft in service: digital solutions for Customers and Aircraft Operators, etc.;
• our business performance: business management and collaboration.

Dassault Aviation invests in digital professions to ensure an independent information system that performs well and meets our requirements in terms of security, quality and the environmental footprint. To support this approach, Dassault Aviation ensures that it has the necessary skills, through:

• the development of collaborative structural software platforms (3DExperience, SAP, etc.), and repositories for the data of our products and services, to assert our role as a cooperative aeronautical architect;
• shared software development methodologies and the application of good practices such as “DevOps” for deploying solutions (GIT/JIRA/Confluence/Testing, CI/CD, etc.);
• the use of agile methodologies in suitable contexts;
• “native web”-oriented developments based on the latest technologies and practices (micro-services, containerization, API management) for the provision of digital services to our civil and military clients;
• emerging technologies, including open-source solutions in particular;
