PLM Highway and New Dassault Waltham Campus

I’m sure, you are familiar with highway 101 crossing Silicon Valley. However, you probably never heard about PLM Highway in Boston. After last week Autodesk PLM announcement and Dassault System move to a new campus in Waltham, I think we can officially suggest to rename Massachusetts Route 128 (also known as Yankee Division Highway) to PLM Highway. The map below prove it. PTC, Dassault, Autodesk, Siemens, SAP, Oracle. These are top six providers of PLM software with offices located along Rt 128.

As a blogger, I was invited by DS to visit their new office and to attend ribbon cut ceremony. Bernard Charles, DS President and CEO and Al Bunshaft hosted this event for media and journalists. After short briefing and visiting virtual reality presentation room, we’ve been taken to the campus tour. I’ve honored by having Jeff Ray walking together with our group and providing explanations about the building. Below you can see few pictures I made during this event.
