There isn't a one-size-fits-all path to adoption; small organizations can have complex requirements, and larger organizations sometimes have basic requirements. However, there are common scenarios.

Below are three common examples with guidance on how to approach adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with SOLIDWORKS for managing your design data. Unless you or your company has previous experience of implementing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it is recommended that you work together with your SOLIDWORKS reseller partner.  

Follow the guidance in the scenario that represents the closest match to the needs of your company and your business objectives.  

		Small Design Team A small organisation of typically two or more SOLIDWORKS users who have a need for basic cloud storage and design project collaboration. Users are responsible for configuring and learning the 3DEXPERIENCE platform while doing their day job.
		Small to Mid-Size Teams​​​​​​​ Small to Mid sized design team requiring revision control and lifecycle management, plus a need to collaborate with suppliers for manufacturing
		Mid-Size to Large Enterprises​​​​​​​ Large organization with a high number of users. Multi department with formal design release and change processes
