Just two years after announcing our future of becoming the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, customer implementations of our industry solution experiences are bringing significant value both for our customers and for their end-customers, commented Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes President and Chief Executive Officer. For example, MeadWestvaco, providing packaging solutions to the worlds most admired brands, is leveraging 6 of our industry solution experiences to significantly speed time to market for its customers, while accelerating innovation to support its consumer-centric packaging strategy.
On top of our industry solution experiences value, a number of our largest customers are moving into the deployment phase with our V6 architecture. These deployments, such as the one happening at Renault, are significant in showing the ability, thanks to the V6 architecture, to support a single source of truth for global operations across multiple continents, brands and lines of business.
And our 3DEXPERIENCE Lighthouse Program which was launched in mid-2013 is confirming the significant collaborative value of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Companies in different industries and a wide array of sizes, working on the Cloud, and on premise all confirm the game-changing value of a business platform centered on social product innovation in this Age of Experience.
Last week we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Accelrys with the objective to deliver transformational value to customers in life sciences and formulation-based industries by combining science-based innovation with product lifecycle management on our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This acquisition is consistent with our purpose of harmonizing products, nature and life, and is well-timed, as later this year we will be introducing our first offering in bio-intelligence for the pharmaceutical industry following more than half a decade of research and development work in conjunction with leading industry players.
