A Production Windchill Upgrade: 40 Phases, Zero Failures, Zero OutageRead case studyChoosing a partner
We connect PLM, ERP, MES, and QMS—and translate between engineering, manufacturing, and operations so they actually speak the same language.
The real problem? Nobody's translating what engineering calls a "component," manufacturing calls a "subassembly," and sales calls an "option."
BOMs sync automatically. Engineers see cost in real-time. Changes flow in <1 hour.
Work instructions update automatically. Shop floor always has current version.
Problems trigger design review. Closed-loop from defect to fix.
Only valid configurations. BOMs generate from orders. Accurate pricing. → Result: 90% fewer quote errors

Read customer story
40 of 40 migration phases, zero failures, zero production outage.
Read customer story12-16 weeks from architecture through production deployment. Shorter timelines (8-10 weeks) are possible for simple scope or cloud-to-cloud, but rushing integration increases failure risk. Proper architecture design takes time but prevents expensive rework.
80% of integration failures come from bad architecture, not bad technology. Most companies skip the design phase and jump straight to coding. We spend 4 weeks mapping what should sync, when, and how—before writing any code. That prevents most failures.
Changes queue in middleware and automatically sync when systems return online. Users are notified of delays but never blocked from working. Nothing is lost—everything syncs once systems are back up.
Not necessarily. We use integration platforms (Boomi, MuleSoft) when they fit, write custom APIs when needed. Most implementations use a hybrid approach. We'll recommend what makes sense for your budget and requirements—not what makes us the most money.
Average payback period: 6-9 months. ROI comes from eliminating manual data entry (40-80 hours/week saved), reducing errors (85% improvement), and faster decision-making. Fastest payback we've seen: 3 months (automotive supplier eliminating manual PPAP compilation).
