domains. System and software engineers use SCADE® solutions to graphically design, verify, and automatically generate critical systems and software applications with high dependability requirements. Esterel Technologies SCADE product solutions easily integrate, allowing for development optimization and increased communication among team members. Esterel Technologies is part of , a leading engineering simulation software providers. Our virtual prototyping technology has enabled customers to predict with confidence that their product designs will thrive in the real world. The ANSYS product suite offers the ability to perform comprehensive multiphysics analyses, critical for high-fidelity simulation of real architecture that integrates components. Esterel extends the ANSYS vision of Simulation-Driven Product Development to encompass both hardware and software systems. Our combined solutions enable customers to gain greater insight into the behavior of embedded software as it interacts with hardware including electrical, mechanical and fluidic subsystems — at the systems level. This exciting combination accelerates development and delivery of innovative products to the marketplace while lowering design and engineering costs and improving product safety. The SCADE product family includes: Soon this naturalistic control language, named for a mountain in France, attracted the attention of other academics and research organizations. The Esterel programming language began to evolve into a rigorous discipline, with formal semantics and a first generation of code generation and formal verification tools that were created by Gérard Berry. Simulog, a French software company, developed a prototype version of the Esterel toolset for commercial use and, by 1998, these programming tools had been used by AT&T Bell Labs, Bertin, Dassault Aviation and Thomson CSF (now Thales). In 1999, Esterel Technologies was formally launched as a spin-off of Simulog. After the launch of this first-generation software, Esterel executives began a process of strategic acquisitions that added critical capabilities to the company’s increasingly robust software modeling toolkit. In 2001, Esterel acquired the SCADE business unit from Telelogic and incorporated SCADE software into its growing product family. Telelogic had developed SCADE for its safety-critical accounts, and the software had its roots in nuclear plant design and flight control systems design. By 2005, Esterel had expanded the SCADE branding to encompass all of its model-based development tools dedicated to critical embedded software. In 2009, Esterel created a joint laboratory with the French Atomic Energy Commission Laboratory for Industrial Systems, called LISTEREL. This collaborative laboratory developed new system architecture modeling tools that were branded SCADE System product line to help system and software developers manage the produced artifacts — including certification plans, documentation and metrics — across the entire life cycle of smart products. Managing this life cycle, which can span up to 50 years in some industries, represents a key challenge for many organizations. With these strategic acquisitions and technology transfers, Esterel Technologies established itself as the leading provider of critical systems and software development solutions for a diverse range of customers in the Esterel Technologies is currently staffed by 100+ people. Our management team has a combined total of nearly 200 years experience in business-to-business, high-tech marketing & sales, and computer science. Our R&D and professional services employees have additional backgrounds in mathematics and advanced computing. Esterel Technologies SAS Eric Bantégnie founded Esterel Technologies in the fall of 1999 and has since been its President & CEO. In parallel, Mr. Bantégnie was also President and CEO of Simulog, a high-tech software and services company of 180-people specialized in the high-tech industries (telecom, electronics, aerospace and automotive) for simulation, product data management, and object, database and web technologies-based projects, from 1998 to 2000. Between 1988 and 1992, he was Director of Production of France Telecom for the Western Paris directorate (Direction Opérationnelle des Yvelines). During 1986 and 1988, he completed coursework on three complementary professional programs during the graduation course of the French civil service “Corps des Mines”, concurrently following general economy and engineering training at “Ecole des Mines de Paris”, while covering operational production, sales and marketing activities. 1980: Laureate of the French “concours général” in philosophy (1st prize) and Physics (3rd prize) Marie-Aude de BONNIERES joined Esterel Technologies in January 2012 as Chief Financial Officer. Between 2008 and 2009, she worked for Regeal Affimet, Leading French company for Recycling aluminum, as CFO in charge of Finance, Legal and IT. Between 2003 and 2008, Marie-Aude de Bonnières joined Eco-Emballages, an environmental company, as CFO in charge of Finance, Legal and IT (SAP). Between 1998 and 2003, she was CFO and General Secretary of Coser, a Middle size Family Company with two activities: automatic food distribution and events catering. In the fall of 1999, Bernard Dion co-founded Esterel Technologies and has since been in charge of both product engineering and the development of product methodologies of use. Prior to Esterel Technologies, Mr. Dion was part of the Simulog Group beginning in 1993, where he began as the Technical Director of Connexite, a subsidiary devoted to the development of programming systems for the Fortran language. In 1995, he joined Simulog as Deputy CEO, developing a specific branch of the company with software engineering expertise for scientific and technical computing. In 1997, he became Simulog’s Senior Executive Vice-President, remaining in that position until 2000. Cyrille Fagué joined Esterel Technologies during the company’s infancy in November 2000 as Vice-President of Sales. His primary area of focus is European and Asian related business.
