• Since 2021, our client has been implementing Windchill as its PLM system. Document management has already been used productively on an international scale for several years. Since early 2025, users have also been working with WT Document Management processes. A functioning SAP-Windchill interface is also in place. Upcoming releases include, among other things, WT Parts Management including data migration of SAP components, as well as an interface with the electrical design software Altium. No performant infrastructure, no functioning infrastructure for Windchill test, quality, and production systems. Releases/patches are challenging / internal know-how is incomplete.
