Please identify if your organization is capable of acting as a source to perform the following activities, and briefly describe your qualifications to perform the below subtasks as well as any previous experience in performing similar activities. Activity 1: The purpose of this activity is to provide complete configuration and customization of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to be deployed on an IDE. Tasks may include, but not be limited to: Configuring 3DEXPERIENCE, to include proprietary source-code modification, facilitating third-party application and data integration, custom attribute definition and development of extensions of OOTB capabilities. Identifying and prioritizing configurations and customizations to the OOTB software based on user specific needs. Creating and providing technical specification documents to include exact modifications, and steps to perform these modifications, for required software. Creating and deploying build packages to the IDE. Providing detailed information on the 3DEXPERIENCE software architecture and underlying compute resource requirements in support of further IDE development. Providing information on 3DEXPERIENCE development roadmaps, including planned capability additions and software release schedules. Activity 2: The purpose of this activity is to work with the Government to define and conduct a detailed training curriculum on 3DEXPERIENCE functionality and use, and to provide long-term embedded SME support on DS applications. Additionally, this activity will provide post-training support and include knowledge transfer sessions to users on specific topics related to the configuration and customization of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment in the IDE. Knowledge transfer sessions will be related to information technology activities such as installation, configuration, customization or business administrative activities such as template creation, dashboard creation, and any topics identified in the training curriculum document. Tasks may include, but not be limited to: Providing 3DEXPERIENCE training curriculum and schedule. Leading and conducting training to users, based on agreed upon training curriculum.
