EDS announced product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services contracts with three leading German shipyards. Valued at $10 million, the contracts with Blohm + Voss, Nordseewerke, and Luerssen establish EDS PLM Solutions software and services as the corporate standard with three new clients and highlight the company's leadership and momentum in global shipbuilding, one of the PLM industry's most important segments. The shipyards will use EDS' Teamcenter and Unigraphics NX software solutions to manage their entire product development and manufacturing processes for naval ships and luxury yachts. In addition, they will use Teamcenter and Unigraphics NX to develop the new Corvette-class K130 based on a new concurrent engineering concept for the shipbuilding industry.
