Case in point

A leading American tactical vehicle manufacturer transforms its PDM ecosystem.

A defense contractor needed to transform an aging Product Data Management ecosystem to support aggressive growth and modern digital engineering demands. Legacy systems were fragmented, overloaded, and blocking scalability across engineering and manufacturing operations.

Business challenge

An over-extended PDM system, several outdated tools, and limited ability to support new business opportunities. The client needed a future-ready PLM architecture, seamless data migration (including CAD), and a unified platform to sustain long-term scalability.

Solution

A comprehensive 3-year PLM roadmap: full capability deployment, full engineering data migration, replacement of an obsolete change management platform, plus inheriting and successfully delivering an existing failing initiative. Over 1,000 users onboarded with ongoing production support.

Results

Tighter IT-engineering collaboration, streamlined enterprise change management, and a scalable digital foundation for growth. Cross-discipline BOM management and ERP integration drove higher data quality and clear, authoritative data sources.
