Why Legacy PLM Is Holding Your Business Back—And What to Do About It | 🆕 Blog & More Resources

Your product development teams are working harder than ever. But if they’re operating within a patchwork of legacy PLM tools, disconnected databases, and manual workarounds, they’re not working as efficiently as possible.

This creates a business challenge that impacts productivity, costs, and competitiveness.

To address these challenges, more organizations are modernizing their product lifecycle management by adopting next-generation PLM solutions such as ENOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

For example, SABCA, a Belgian aerospace actuation systems expert, aimed to unify engineering and manufacturing data flows through its 3DEXPERIENCE implementation. Before, each team used different systems, which caused communication issues and expensive mistakes when design changes occurred.

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a next-generation PLM system that enables us to take on a more comprehensive approach than our legacy system,” said Marten Venmans, Director of Engineering at SABCA. “One of its significant advantages is integration, particularly with our major design tools. It allows us to interface with our customers’ databases as well as our manufacturing plants and facilitates a continuous digital thread, especially between manufacturing engineering and production.”

The question for most organizations isn’t whether to modernize their PLM. It’s when—and how.
