Partnership with Share PLM for comprehensive change management

CONTACT Software’s partner Share PLM combines PLM expertise with organizational change management to successfully guide customers through the implementation of CIM Database PLM.

Introducing a PLM system often involves far-reaching changes that extend beyond mere software implementation. Customers need to establish new workflows, processes, roles, and responsibilities. This can extend into the supply chain and requires building new competencies and expertise.

Together with strategic partner Share PLM, CONTACT Software is enhancing its established Learning Services with comprehensive transformation management. Share PLM brings many years of PLM implementation experience combined with deep expertise in organizational change, supporting customers through every stage of their transformation. From shaping a clear vision and engaging stakeholders to developing new capabilities and embedding sustainable ways of working, the partnership ensures that system implementation is fully aligned with business goals.

More and more companies are recognizing that effective transformation management is the decisive factor in successful PLM initiatives. Support introduced early in the journey creates the conditions for smooth execution and long-term adoption. Share PLM provides a structured methodology, experienced change managers, and close collaboration with internal teams to guide organizations through the entire change journey, ensuring that people, processes, and technology evolve together.

Based on these analyses, CONTACT then implements individual Learning Services to effectively impart new knowledge and skills. “With our comprehensive and modular portfolio of learning services, we support our customers with their diverse needs,” says Carsten Keller, Team Lead of CONTACT Learning at CONTACT Software. “We strategically expand our own competencies through partnerships like the one with Share PLM, which provides us with crucial change management expertise.”

Helena Gutierrez, Managing Director of Share Enterprises, adds: “A software company that recognizes the importance of people in achieving real results is a company with a future. I look forward to working together with CONTACT to actively drive this growth.” In the future, customers in the DACH region and international projects will benefit from the partnership, especially through support with product training and partner onboarding.
