From Planning to Performance—Powered by Dassault Systèmes

Planning is no longer just about efficiency—it’s about enabling smarter decisions, faster responses, and measurable business impact. Through our strategic partnership with Dassault Systèmes, the OptimAI business line withing Sopra Steria delivers advanced planning and optimization capabilities based on the DELMIA Quintiq technology. Based on the DELMIA Quintiq planning platform we help businesses overcome fragmented planning processes, lack of visibility, and manual inefficiencies by delivering intelligent, integrated, and agile planning solutions. 

Organisations across industries face increasing pressure to optimise operations, reduce costs, and respond swiftly to change. Whether it’s managing workforce schedules, aligning supply and demand, or orchestrating transport and logistics, the complexity of planning across multiple horizons and constraints can be overwhelming.
  • Fragmented planning systems – Disconnected tools and teams hinder visibility and coordination 
  • Forecasting uncertainty – Difficulty anticipating demand, disruptions, or capacity constraints 
  • Inefficient resource allocation – Underused assets, overstaffing, and costly scheduling conflicts 
  • Slow response to change – Inability to adapt quickly to market shifts or operational disruptions 
  • Sustainability pressures – Growing need to reduce waste, emissions, and inefficiencies 
  • Workforce skill gaps – Shortage of planners equipped to manage complex, data-driven environments 
  • Lack of scenario planning – Limited ability to simulate and compare decisions before execution 

By addressing these challenges, we help clients turn planning into a lever for performance, resilience, and growth. 

 

  • Advanced planning solutions – Combining mathematical algorithms, heuristics, and AI, DELMIA Quintiq delivers record-breaking optimisation across industries. 
  • AI-driven optimization – Embedded intelligence for forecasting, scheduling, and decision support 
  • Tailored architectures – 100%-fit solutions configured to each client’s constraints, KPIs, and business logic 
  • End-to-end delivery – From value discovery and solution design to implementation, training, and support 
  • Global delivery capacity – 55+ certified consultants, multi-country rollouts, and SLA-based support 
  • Cross-industry experience – Proven success in logistics, manufacturing, public services, and more 

Together, we help clients turn planning into a strategic asset—aligned with business goals and ready for change. Aside from the business line OptimAI, through its subsidiary CIMPA, Sopra Steria also delivers a comprehensive suite of engineering services designed to accelerate product development cycles and enhance industrial innovation. These services include systems engineering, simulation, digital mock-up, and technical data management, all tailored to improve product customisation, maintainability, and time-to-market. In partnership with Dassault Systèmes, CIMPA is accredited across consulting, systems integration, training, and software development, enabling it to implement and support advanced PLM solutions such as Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA, ENOVIA, and DELMIA technology stack. This strategic alliance empowers CIMPA to offer clients end-to-end support in digital transformation while maintaining independence in recommending the most suitable PLM suites for each unique industrial context.
