Partnership between CONTACT Software and dpace accelerates PLM projects

The software manufacturer and the specialized PLM and CPQ service provider will work closely together to support companies in implementing customized solutions for digital product development.

Powerful PLM systems enable companies to bring products to market faster and more cost-effectively. However, their implementation is often challenging: the solution has to be adapted to established processes, integrated into existing IT landscapes, and data must be migrated reliably. CONTACT Software and the PLM and CPQ specialists dpace are now joining forces to implement PLM projects efficiently and provide long-term support for their customers.

The partnership combines CONTACT’s technology with dpace’s implementation expertise. CONTACT’s PLM solution CIM Database is based on the open and modular Elements platform. It seamlessly integrates data from third-party systems, can be hosted in the cloud, and embeds artificial intelligence (AI) system-wide. This creates a future-proof foundation for digital transformation.

As a service partner, dpace comprehensively supports companies in the introduction of CIM Database – from consulting, implementation, system integration, and data migration to operation and customized further development.

“The partnership with CONTACT is a logical step for us. We not only share the same quality standards for PLM projects, but also complement each other both methodologically and on a personal level. CONTACT offers future-oriented software solutions – and we provide the corresponding implementation expertise,” says Kay Mengeringhausen, CEO of dpace.

“We are delighted to have gained dpace, such an experienced and long-standing player in the PDM/PLM field, as a new partner. This collaboration not only highlights the future viability of our platform – it also underscores our commitment to making the CONTACT Global Ecosystem attractive to our customers together with like-minded partners and their technical and methodological excellence,” says Michael Küpper, Director of CONTACT Consulting.
