Data conversion -
more than merely a question of format

  • Automatic conversion without quality assurance is a low-cost option for customers with high-quality original data or for development phases where speed is of the essence. As a rule, the data is made available in the desired target format within a day.
  • During data conversion, the design history and parametric relationships are normally lost, making it difficult to reuse the data in the target system. OpenDESC.com therefore also offers the conversion of features and parametrics in cooperation with Elysium Inc.
  • We provide customers who have high quality requirements with additional services such as quality control for 3D models and 2D drawings. We adapt your data in line with OEM-specific environment variables, drawing symbols, etc. If errors occur during conversion, we repair the data in the target system.

Data transfer - Automatic or manual but always secure

  • As a PROSTEP customer, you can use the highly secure OpenDXM GlobalX cloud service as a data exchange solution with no installation effort.
  • Data transfer is performed either automatically via OFTP2, via our web portal or manually via the supplier portal of the respective automobile manufacturer.
  • We offer you the option of setting up a company-specific portal with its own URL and your corporate design and connecting your partner companies to your internal IT infrastructure via the portal.
  • All exchange processes are logged and archived together with the associated metadata, thus ensuring that they can be traced even in years to come. Personalized access ensures that your data cannot fall

Data migration - we have the experience and the know-how

  • Also take advantage of our many years of experience in the field of data conversion when migrating your CAD and PLM data after deciding to switch to a new system. We provide you with advice regarding the preparations for migration, define the migration objectives together with you and develop the appropriate methods and processes for achieving these objectives.
  • Converting large amounts of data in the shortest possible time is part of our know-how. We create special adapters and pipelines, check routines and automatic repair processes for your migration and define key performance indicators (KPIs) for efficiently monitoring success.
  • We offer a variety of migration scenarios: from a "Big Bang" migration with several terabytes of data to incremental migration right through to on-request migration, which involves converting only the data you currently need. Clearly defined processes guarantee successful migration.

Installation and maintenance - we oversee your CAD and PDM infrastructure

  • We assume responsibility for installing the CAD systems that you need in order to collaborate efficiently with your customers, including OEM-specific initial models, tools for checking data quality, etc.
  • We integrate the CAD systems in your PDM environment in such a way that the CAD data is efficiently managed and optimum support is provided for collaborative processes with your customers.
  • We maintain your system landscape and ensure that you always have the release level that the respective OEM specifies. You no longer need to worry about updates, which reduce your administrative overhead.
