PLM transition with confidence, not compromise

Legacy PLM environments are reaching the limits of what they can support. Growing product complexity, evolving regulations and disconnected processes are creating greater pressure to modernize.

Capgemini and Dassault Systèmes combine transformation expertise to deliver a proven path to digital continuity – preserving institutional knowledge while building a connected, AI-ready foundation across engineering and manufacturing. We help you move beyond platform migration to build a connected, AI-ready foundation for how your organization designs, sources, and manufactures.

The pressure to modernize is accelerating

Legacy systems are becoming more difficult to maintain as product complexity increases and business requirements continue to evolve. At the same time, regulatory expectations and emerging technologies require trusted information that can be accessed and understood across the product lifecycle.

The challenges holding manufacturers back

Modernization involves more than moving data from one system to another. Organizations must protect business continuity, retain years of product knowledge and improve how teams work without disrupting active programs.

A transition must account for active products, established processes and critical system dependencies. Without a structured approach, migration can introduce unnecessary cost, risk and disruption.

Traceability, sustainability and compliance expectations are increasing. Organizations need reliable information and greater visibility throughout the product lifecycle.

Disconnected systems make it difficult to access complete product context. This slows collaboration, complicates decision-making and limits the value of data for analytics and AI.

A foundation built for what’s next

Capgemini and Dassault Systèmes turn modernization into a broader business transformation. Capgemini brings the strategy, industry knowledge and implementation experience required to manage a complex transition. Dassault Systèmes provides the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to bring people, processes and product information together in a collaborative environment. This joint approach protects what matters today while creating new opportunities for tomorrow.
