OverviewTake the fast lane to profitability by reducing time, cost and risk with managed solutions. Virtual Twin as a Service delivers managed virtual twins so organizations get the insights they need without building or operating the underlying infrastructure themselves. This service brings Dassault Systèmes' experience and know‑how to customer use cases to accelerate time-to-value.
Value propositionVirtual Twin as a Service (VTaaS) leverages over 40 years of experience delivering value from virtual twins. It is used across critical industries (for example in the development of electric vehicles and commercial aircraft) to shorten projects that might previously have taken years down to weeks while reducing cost and operational risk.
How it works- We start by identifying your challenges and desired outcomes.
- Dassault Systèmes builds, operates and maintains the virtual twin on your behalf.
- You receive actionable insights and outcomes rather than managing servers, software licenses or specialist IT staff.
- Ongoing delivery is handled via an as-a-service subscription model that can scale capacity by adjusting the plan.

FAQ (selected)- What is Virtual Twin as a Service, and does it differ from virtual twins? It provides the value of virtual twins plus Dassault Systèmes’ 40+ years of expertise: Dassault builds and operates the twins so customers get a shortcut to insights without the operational overhead.
- Can I still do everything I would with a standalone virtual twin? Yes — you get the same capabilities but without having to build or manage the twin infrastructure; expansions are available via the subscription model.
- How do I know VTaaS is for me? VTaaS is suited to organizations seeking a cost-effective, low-risk way to generate value quickly; it is an option for those who prefer to pay for delivered insights rather than own the full stack and personnel.
