Case Study: Major European Heavy Vehicle Manufacturer achieves secure, real-time global CAD access with Citrix XenDesktop HDX 3D Pro

Major European Heavy Vehicle Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

Headquartered in Sweden, a major European heavy vehicle manufacturer with design, manufacturing and support centers in more than 140 countries needed to give regional teams in places like Germany, Japan, Mexico and Brazil real-time access to distributed product design data. The company had been relying on asynchronous methods—nightly bulk transfers of hundreds of gigabytes—which increased bandwidth costs, raised IT headcount and slowed collaboration.

The company deployed Citrix XenDesktop with HDX 3D Pro to centralize Dassault ENOVIA PLM and CATIA in datacenters hosted in Japan and Curitiba, Brazil, enabling secure, real‑time access to centrally managed CAD data worldwide. The solution reduced bandwidth consumption, improved data accuracy, allowed users to quickly open and render very large models (millions of vertices), and accelerated collaboration and time to market.
