Software is a simple word, but the impact it has on industry is considerable. It’s safe to say that it’s the brains behind PLM processes, but it’s not a stagnant thing. Like all types of software, it is continually being patched, revamped, and upgraded to provide maximum benefit for users.

At Dynamic Solutions Associates, Inc. (DSA), we’ve got vast experience and insight into why it’s important to stay on top of software updates and use the latest versions available. Read on to learn more about how PLM upgrade services will benefit your company’s processes.

By taking advantage of all updates and upgrades, your company will be able to make the most of the latest efficiencies and functionality offered by the newer system. A comprehensive approach such as ours is meticulous and well-planned so that the transition is smooth and seamless.

Make sure the company you work with for your upgrade has an established methodology to follow and communicates fully what that is and how it will work for you. Our system features a full functional analysis and incorporates testing, reconfiguring, and timely resolution of any errors.

Whatever team you choose to work with, make sure they offer zero downtime during the upgrade, fast deployment, and no loss of intellectual property.

Model-based design (MBD), sometimes digital product definition, is the practice of using 3D models (such as solid models, 3D PMI and associated metadata) within 3D CAD software to define (provide specifications for) individual components and product assemblies. The types of information included are geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), component level materials, assembly level bills of materials, engineering configurations, design intent, etc. By contrast, other methodologies have historically required accompanying use of 2D engineering drawings to provide such details.

Assuring a measurable return on investment requires a multi-year, multi-phased execution approach that transforms the organization in a logical stepwise fashion. This requires the creation of an MBD/MBE Strategy and a comprehensive understanding of where the ROI will come from as well as the critical process and application capabilities required to attain the ROI.

Evidentiary Data demonstrates a substantial ROI can be achieved through the application of Model-based Design Process and Application Infrastructures.
