PLM Data Migration Services
Migrating Files Is Easy. Migrating Engineering Knowledge Isn’t.
We migrate product structures, relationships, metadata and history—with the context that makes the data usable in the target PLM.
- 30+ PLM migration programmes
- 2B+ records migrated
- Structures & relationships intact
- Validated & reconciled

The Migration Challenge
The Data Is Easy. The Relationships Are the Programme.
Moving the records is the easy part. Keeping them connected is the job.
- Part
- BOM
- CAD
- Document
- Change
Break one link and the structure stops working in the target.
“Nothing was lost” should be something you can check, not a promise you have to trust.
Migration Strategy
Choose the Approach Around the Data You Need to Keep.
Scope is set by what the business needs in the target, not by a fixed recipe.
Three questions decide it
- 01What needs to move?
- 02What needs to change on the way?
- 03What only needs to stay accessible?
The approach
Full
All required data and history, moved in one transition.
WhenThe legacy system is being retired.
Selective
Only what active products, processes or business units need.
WhenHistory can stay behind, read-only.
Phased
Controlled stages by product line, site or system; delta runs close the gap.
WhenParts of the business move at different times.
Migration Scope
A PLM Migration Moves More Than Records.
From single attributes to the relationships and history that give them meaning.
01 Record
Product & Item Data
Parts · Items · Attributes · Classifications
02 Relationship
CAD Data
Parts · Assemblies · Drawings
Documents & Files
Documents · Attachments · File links
03 Structure
Product Structures
EBOM · MBOM · CAD-to-BOM links · Configurations
04 History
Engineering History
Revisions · Lifecycle states · Change history
05 Context
Ownership & Access
Owners · Status · Roles · ITAR & EAR controls

Our Migration Method
A Migration Process You Can Validate at Every Phase.
Repeated cycles find problems early, instead of one cutover that finds them late.

Migration Quality
Reconciled, Not Just Copied.
We check the target against the source, so you can verify the migration, not trust it.
Part, BOM, Document, Revision, Relationship: each migrated from the source to the target and reconciled against it.
Reconcile
- Counts
- Structure
- Relationships
- Attributes
- Exceptions
Every migration cycle gives us evidence for the next one.

FAQ
Questions We Get Asked.
Into and between 3DEXPERIENCE, Aras Innovator, Teamcenter and Windchill. Sources include Oracle Agile PLM, ENOVIA, SmarTeam, SOLIDWORKS PDM, Pro/INTRALINK, Documentum, Autodesk Vault and custom systems.
Yes. Oracle ends Premier Support for Agile PLM in December 2027. We migrate Agile items, BOMs, documents, changes and history into 3DEXPERIENCE, Aras Innovator, Teamcenter or Windchill, starting with an assessment of what has to move.
Structures move as structures: types and relationships load in dependency order, and broken or missing links are repaired on the way in. After every load the target is reconciled against the source on counts, structure, relationships and attributes, and every exception is resolved before the next cycle.
Yes. Full revision history can move, or only the latest released revisions where that is all the target needs. Revision schemes are adapted to the target’s rules, and change history moves with the objects it describes.
No. Migration runs in rehearsed cycles, and delta runs carry across changes made since the previous run, so the final cutover moves only what changed. One multi-site programme went live inside a 2–3 day window; another moved with no stop in operations.
