IGE+XAO Signs a Major Contract with Airbus


Three years after the contract was signed with Eurocopter, the IGE+XAO Group announces a very significant contract with Airbus. This new agreement covers the supply of the IGE+XAO Group's PLM offer (Product Life-cycle Management) dedicated to Electrical Engineering. This software suite named SEE Electrical Harness PLM, encompasses most of the electrical engineering process, from the definition of electrical equipment to the automatic generation of electrical harnesses and wiring diagrams.

This contract made up of several stages for which deliveries are planned from the 4th quarter 2008 until the end of 2011 could reach nearly 5 million euros. This amount includes the SEE Electrical Harness PLM software licences as well as the development and associated services. IGE+XAO is currently working on the first stage which represents an already received purchase order of 1.3 M Euros excluding VAT.

For Alain Di Crescenzo, Chairman and CEO of the IGE+XAO Group: "this new contract emphasizes the relevance and maturity of the Group PLM offer in the aeronautics and space markets. Thus, IGE+XAO appears more and more as a worldwide leader in the fields of Computer-Aided Design and PLM dedicated to Electrical Engineering."

With this contract and other ongoing projects, the IGE+XAO Group plans to strengthen its R&D as well as customer support teams.
