## History

Sescoi was created by Bruno Marko in 1987. The company name comes from the French acronym "Société Européenne Spécialisée en Communication Organisation et Informatique". Sescoi was an early pioneer in the development of 3D CAM software with the launch of WorkNC in 1988. WorkNC is well known for its focus on automation and ease of use.
In 1992 the company launched WorkPLAN, its first ERP software for custom manufacturing and project management.
Sescoi acquired Xitron in 2001 and Mecasoft Industrie, developer of the Solid Concept, a 3D parametric MCAD software, in 2002.
The company launched WorkNC-CAD in 2002, WorkNC 5-axis in 2003 and WorkNC G3 in 2007.
A new generation of WorkPLAN ERP was developed and launched as two complementary products. The first one is MyWorkPLAN, a modular ERP for project management, launched in 2006. The second is WorkPLAN Enterprise, a full ERP software for custom manufacturers, mold and die makers and engineering departments, launched in 2008. Both of these products use MySQL as a database engine, and feature a redesigned user interface, with a navigation tree similar to that used in CAD systems.
In 2008 Sescoi launched WorkXPlore 3D, a high-speed collaborative viewer for analyzing and sharing 3D CAD files without requiring the original CAD application.
In year 2009 Sescoi launched WorkNC Dental, CAD/CAM software for automatic machining of prosthetic appliances, implants or dental structures, and also launched WorkNC Wire EDM, a software for wire EDM.
