PLM Migration
FROM LEGACY TO DIGITAL
When Is It Time To Migrate?
As technology improves and your business needs change, you will eventually need to replace monolithic or home-grown software with a connected, future-ready PLM system. Moving the product record can be especially tricky. Planning is every bit as important as execution.
Ten Factors to Consider Before You Migrate
To migrate and replace part structures and CAD effectively, you need a solid strategy and expertise. Without it, transferring design data can be difficult. Choosing the right migration approach and tools is essential for a smooth transition. It’s important to ask the right questions to fully understand your PLM migration.
1. Users
Consider the impact of the migration on PLM users, including training needs, communication, and support.
2. Processes
Evaluate how the migration will impact existing business processes, and whether any changes are required.
3. Security
Ensure that the new PLM system has adequate security measures in place to protect sensitive data.
4. Compliance
Verify that the new PLM system complies with any applicable regulations or standards, such as ISO or FDA regulations.
5. Scalability
Consider the future growth and expansion plans of the organization and ensure that the new PLM system can accommodate these needs.
6. Data
Consider the amount of data that needs to be migrated, including the format, volume, and quality of the data.
7. Customizations
Evaluate customizations made to your existing PLM system and determine which you cannot do without.
8. Integration
Assess how your PLM system integrates with ERP, CRM, and others. Make sure up and downstream systems have the right information at the right time.
9. Vendor Support
Evaluate the level of support provided by the PLM vendor, including maintenance, upgrades, and technical assistance.
10. Cost
Determine the total cost of the migration. Include licensing and consulting fees, and any other associated costs.
Common Migration Approaches
The PLM migration approach you choose depends entirely on you, your processes, and business requirements. Each approach has its benefits. Carefully weighing your options will ensure you adopt the best methodology for your situation.
