Solution

Connect

The solution to synchronize, migrate, and interface your engineering systems at scale

Supporting digital continuity, Connect automates, secures, and accelerates your data flows. It ensures complete operational continuity and drastically reduces the complexity, risks, and costs of digital transformation projects, enabling a successful transition toward the Intelligent Industry.

Synchronizing, migrating, and interfacing: the data challenge

Product data is among the most valuable and strategic assets for companies.
But it is often scattered across multiple systems: MBx*, PLM*, ERP*, MES*, ALM*…

This fragmentation makes coherence and synchronization difficult to maintain, leading to delays, risks, and high operational costs.

The challenge grows even greater during data migrations, with complexity across multiple dimensions:

  • Complex and heterogeneous data (1D, 2D, 3D, xBOM, configuration, change, etc.)
  • Parallel programs relying on diverse application suites
  • Data that evolves continuously, combined with large, sometimes very old, historical datasets
  • An absolute requirement for operational continuity

In this context, a “big bang” migration is far too risky. Organizations need a progressive, secure, and highly automated approach to control their transitions.

Connect, serving digital transformation

A fully successful digital transformation relies on data that flows smoothly and reliably, creating lasting momentum for performance and innovation.

Connect ensures this fluidity by automating and securing all data migrations, integrations, and synchronizations — at enterprise scale and without service interruption. By standardizing and orchestrating engineering data flows, Connect reduces complexity, improves quality, and accelerates value creation.

Why deploy Connect?

deploy Connect

Connect provides a central engine to orchestrate complex engineering data flows, sequencing operations between systems while applying consistency, validation, and error‑management rules.

An expandable library of reusable connectors including PLM, ERP, MES, and ALM, enabling fast implementation and simplified maintenance, reducing specific development and improving interoperability.

Connect provides a configurable engine for mapping and transformation, handling complex data structures, supporting custom business rules, and ensuring the transfer of consistent, validated data.

Connect supports the transfer of large data volumes in real time, ensuring high performance whether running on dedicated infrastructure or in the cloud.

By supporting iterative deployments and synchronized data flows, Connect enables organizations to evolve their environment without interruption or risky “big‑bang” migrations.

A dedicated administration and monitoring interface that provides real‑time visibility into operations, events, and performance indicators, enabling teams to detect, diagnose, and anticipate issues.
