Cloud-based platforms are also used to make processes more sustainable . For example , manufacturers can assess the carbon emissions of each travel route , the composition of the material they use , and the productivity of their supply chains . Today ’ s consumer is sustainability-minded ; the industry needs the right tools to help it show it is supporting this shift .

Smart technology creates a mass of data which brings great responsibility for businesses , who must use it fairly and securely . Smart technology will bring us into a new era of innovation , and at Dassault Systèmes , we want to educate business leaders on how to extract this data and use it for bettering product design , development and deployment . We have the technology – now we need to find innovative ways to continuously build upon these creations .
