Register for COE's May Ask the Experts Webcast: Ready -Set - Migrate

Join Dr. Andreas Schreiber, president, PROSTEP and Paul W. Downing, vice president, PROSTEP, as they present, "Ready - Set - Migrate" PDM and Engineering Data Migration Strategies for Success in a live, interactive Webcast on Tuesday, May 4 at 11:00 a.m. EDT.

Is the thought of migrating or consolidating PDM systems keeping you up?

PROSTEP's research shows that this is one of the biggest obstacles facing IT and engineering managers today with respect to streamlining operations. Too many systems, too many ways of working, entrenched organizations and turf wars are all contributing to lost productivity.

Heterogeneous engineering infrastructures present many challenges, especially in the field of product data management. This situation often results in vastly different representations of the same information. Harmonizing these views in order to consolidate systems is a daunting task.

This presentation outlines some of the pitfalls of large-scale migration projects and offers practical suggestions on how to approach this challenge. The presentation will explore "big bang" migrations, "incremental" migrations and "hybrid" approaches for success. Join this Webcast where real world customer use cases will be explored and where possible customers will be co-presenting.
