DEM Solutions is Expanding Its Global Footprint Through Strategic Partnerships With Software and Hardware Companies for Interfacing and Computing Capabilities, Respectively

Press Release

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — 23 April, 2013 — Based on its recent analysis of engineering simulation for the mining industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes DEM Solutions with the 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award. At a time when simulation technologies were not well established in the mining industry, DEM Solutions introduced its EDEM^® software as a key engineering tool for mining and mineral processing equipment. Rather than position it as a standalone application, the company provided flexibility to integrate it with the existing set of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools and capitalize on the investments already made. It used a top-down approach against the industry norm of bottom-up strategy, which enabled it to build a flexible and scalable tool.
