IDC MarketScape Evaluation: Capabilities and Future Strategy
Recently, IDC Marketplace assessed advanced planning and scheduling software worldwide. Its findings lead to recognizing Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA as a leader in Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software for 2025.
How did they determine the recognition? The IDC MarketScape evaluated providers of advanced planning and scheduling (APS) solutions, then assessed both current capabilities and future strategies. Our strong position reflects the breadth and depth of our APS portfolio, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and our continued commitment to innovation in manufacturing and supply chain planning and optimization.
What Makes DELMIA’s APS Solutions Stand Out
Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA provides solutions distinguishable from others that include:
- Comprehensive APS suites spanning DELMIA Ortems for configurable deployments, DELMIA Quintiq for complex supply chain planning, and the 3DEXPERIENCE Production Scheduler as a native SaaS solution;
- Virtual twin technology enabling real-time scenario modeling, dynamic constraint management, and collaborative decision-making;
- Deep integration across design, engineering, and manufacturing through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, ensuring digital continuity from product conception to execution;
- Flexible deployment options across on-premises, hosted, private, hybrid, and SaaS, supporting data sovereignty and operational continuity;
- Customer satisfaction with configurability, real-time integration, and scheduling intelligence, with rapid payback and high renewal rates.
Driving Innovation with AI in APS
IDC highlighted Dassault Systèmes’ continued investment in artificial intelligence, generative intelligence, microservices-based composability, and edge computing. These innovations are helping manufacturers leverage real-time data, simulate unlimited scenarios, and make better, faster decisions in complex production environments.
How DELMIA APS Improves Efficiency and Factory Productivity
Why DELMIA APS software? It provides forward-looking planning and scheduling of processes in production for manufacturers and supply chain professionals. Planners can improve efficiency when presented with shop floor data and the knowledge to transform factory floor productivity. For example, when manufacturing operations are highly complex, with products competing for the same resources, it can be challenging to create a schedule that optimizes customer fulfillment based on diverse constraints.
Supporting the Future of Manufacturing with Resilience and Agility
As manufacturers face rising complexity, regulatory requirements, and the need for greater agility, our APS solutions help organizations optimize resources, increase resilience, and strengthen their digital thread strategy.
