“Following ten years of management experience with
multi-cultural operations of the Lagardere Group, Pierre Bruno has
joined Matra Datavision as Director of Specific Developments and
Open CASCADE. His goal is to oversee the growing worldwide
utilization of Open CASCADE and to further develop the program of
services associated to these Open Source 3D modeling
components.“
“The new economic model created around Open CASCADE was launched
in December 1999 and has shown continued success with increasing
international collaboration in research and industry. Companies
such as Samtech, EADS, CEA, Rina, Mitutoyo, BMW, IBM, Reebok,
Yazaki, Honda, and Nippon Steel and research entities in Belgium,
Canada, France, Israel, Germany, Norway, Russia and the United
States, pool their talents by using Open CASCADE components for a
number of leading-edge industrial applications.”
“According to Pierre Bruno, “Development activity around Open
Source software occupies an increasingly important place in the
information technology landscape. This innovative approach to
software development will be the motor behind an explosion of new
markets and opportunities. Open CASCADE is key to extending the
potential of technical Open Source applications and will give
industry and research an effective way to enrich software and
fine-tune it to their particular needs. We aim to see Open CASCADE
become the Open Source standard in the development of
trade-specific scientific and technical applications.”
