Applied is Dassault Systemes top performing UK PLM Solutions Value Added Reseller for 2008 with Dassault Systemes PLM software sales revenue growth of  20% over the previous year.

"2008 has been another very successful year with growth in software sales across our three core industry sectors of Aerospace, Automotive and Rail," comments Shaun Clark, Managing Director. Shaun goes on to say, "There were signs of a slowing down in software sales in the fourth quarter but service revenues held up well. We do anticipate 2009 will prove to be a challenging year, however, the company is financially strong and we have a significant and established customer base in the UK so we remain confident. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their business during 2008 and to assure them of our continued customer focus and support going forward through 2009 and beyond."
