Our software and servicesDesign principle: modular instead of monolithic The foundation for this is provided by our CONTACT Elements platform. Like Lego, CONTACT Elements’ modu-lar design principle allows comprehensive applications to be created that are far more than the sum of their parts: each outstanding in its own right, together something unique. The same is true of its consistent ease of use and thus outstanding user experience. Our open standard solutions support the product lifecycle from the initial idea through to its deployment at customer sites.
Our open standard solutions are CIM Database PLM, Project Office, Collaboration Hub and Elements for IoT. We combine data management for virtual products with the functions required for collaboration and for process and project management in product development. We offer an extensive library for industrial IoT services, with modules for the digital twinning of real products.
Achieving objectives faster, reliably and with agilityWe live in a world of innovative companies that are working on the products of the future each and every day and are putting the digital transformation to smarter products into motion. Our priority is to consider in depth, listen carefully and offer advice on an equal footing with our partners. What drives us is developing software that works in the real world of day-to-day business and makes companies much more efficient and users more effective.
We do this by utilizing our 30 years of experience, the expertise gained from hundreds of projects for industry and the CONTACT Global Ecosystem for solutions that work around the clock around the globe. Our employ-ees, with their pioneering spirit and short communication paths, work to help their customers achieve objec-tives faster and enable them to respond flexibly to new challenges.

THE PLM SYSTEM FOR BETTER COLLABORATION AND FASTER PROCESSES DURING PRODUCT ENGINEERINGCIM Database for product lifecycle management supports the lifecycles of your products from the initial idea through to its deployment at customer sites. This allows you to speed up your processes and projects, reduce the number of errors and the effort involved in routine tasks, improve your results and meet regulatory obligations. CIM Database PLM is also particularly cost-effective as it can be adapted to new, future requirements more easily.
BOOST THE SUCCESS OF YOUR ENGINEERING PROJECTS: WITH RELIABLE PROCESSES AND AGILE TEAMWORKWith Project Office, you make hybrid project management, i.e. the combination of classical and agile processes, the standard procedure. This ensures that you achieve the results within the agreed time and cost frame. The principle: Planning, controlling and implementation proceed hand-in-hand based on the same information and specifications – everywhere within your worldwide project and program organization. The basis for this is traditio-nal rough planning supplemented along with agile procedures for self-organized teams.
INTELLIGENT DATA SHARING FOR END-TO-END PROCESSES ACROSS SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATIONAL BOUNDARIESNumerous partners such as suppliers and engineering firms contribute to product development. Users also use a large number of engineering tools for design, validation and data management. Processes can only function effectively if the data is available across organizational and system boundaries. CONTACT‘s Collaboration Hub simplifies the flow of data thanks to intelligent data sharing and supports end-to-end processes.
THE COMPLETE DIGITAL TWIN PLATFORM FOR SMART AND NETWORKED PRODUCTSSmart products that are both intelligent and networked will shape tomorrow‘s business world. Elements for IoT is the leading open architecture and platform, made from best-in-class components, that makes it possible to implement innovative digital business models faster. The foundation for this is the representation of the real products and assets in a comprehensive digital twin model for use cases such as continuous condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
