We focus on the part everyone else ignores: making sure your people actually use the systems. 88% adoption vs 30% industry average.
Engineers keep using Excel. Manufacturing ignores the system. Sales works around it.
Why? Because consultants focus on technology deployment, not organizational change. They connect systems without ensuring departments understand each other.
We design workflows around how your business actually operates—not how consultants think it should. Technology serves the process, not the other way around.
Engineering's "component" becomes manufacturing's "subassembly" becomes sales' "option"—automatically. Systems connected AND departments aligned.
We don't declare success at go-live. Success is when 80%+ of your people prefer the new system to the old way. That's why we hit 88% adoption.

Read customer storyPLM implementation is one component. Digital transformation connects engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations end-to-end. It includes process redesign, integration across all systems, organizational change management, and continuous improvement—not just deploying software.
Most fail from poor organizational change management, not technology. Consultants deploy systems and leave. Nobody adopts the new way of working. Our 88% adoption rate comes from staying until your people actually prefer the new system—not just declaring victory at go-live.
8-12 months for mid-sized manufacturers (200-500 employees). Larger or more complex organizations: 12-18 months. Companies trying to do it faster typically fail. Organizational change takes time—you can't rush people through learning new ways of working.
We build executive sponsorship across multiple stakeholders, not just one champion. We also document clear ROI and progress metrics so new leadership can see value quickly. That said, consistent executive support is one of the biggest success factors—which is why we assess leadership commitment before starting.
Yes, and we recommend it. Start with one product line or plant as a pilot. Prove value. Then expand. Trying to transform everything at once increases risk. Phased approach also helps with budget and resource constraints.
