I think you're right that Dassault has a long-term vision here. I suspect we don't have the full picture of that vision yet, but I think there definitely is one (more than building a customer list via acquisition). Thanks for the comment. Rod – agreed.

Dassault, just like others, must adapt to a changing world. It is a good thing that they have developed a vision and set a plan to get there. People aren't used to companies that think long term and plan long term. Dassault has used it's acquisitions to help build it's vision, rather than build it's customer list. Eric Gold summed this up pretty well: http://blog.inflow-tech.com/inflow/2009/11/dassault-assures-the-future-of-enovia-smarteam-v5.html Jonathon,

If you're implying that DS is acquiring and spinning off companies to manipulate their financials for stock performance purposes, I would argue that it's not working very well. :) Chris, I’m not sure I know what you mean (and whether you are being sarcastic or not).
