Simplified Global Cloud Migration

Best in class migration from legacy PLM environments to the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform on the Cloud with the Dassault Systèmes’ Professional Services.

Move to the Cloud with Our Experts

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the Cloud gives your teams an Industrial AI-enabled, connected environment to collaborate, continuously innovate and accelerate product development across the entire lifecycle. With Cloud, you get faster time-to-value, access to the latest platform capabilities through regular online updates, the flexibility to scale as your business evolves and reduce the effort of managing infrastructure.

Migrating your PLM environment to the Cloud is more than moving data. It requires a deep understanding of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, your applications and your engineering data. Who better to make that transition than the company who created and continuously develops the 3DEXPERIENCE platform!

What Is the Transition Factory?

Transition Factory is Dassault Systèmes’ industrialized cloud migration capability, designed to help customers transition from their existing IT infrastructure and legacy CAD, PDM and PLM environments and data to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the Cloud through standardized, optimized, and repeatable migration practices. By harmonizing methodologies, tools, and delivery capabilities across geographies and channels, Transition Factory enables a consistent, reliable, and scalable approach to cloud migration.

Comparison of Cloud Migration Journeys

Migrate from fragmented delivery to a factory-grade migration model.

From Resource-based delivery

For many enterprises, legacy application modernization starts from scratch with every project. Fragmented tools, gaps in data mapping and different migration approaches can lead to: 

 

  • Unreliable delivery and unpredictable timelines
  • Cost overruns and limited cost visibility
  • Data integrity issues discovered late in the migration
  • Limited reuse of tools and assets across projects
  • Perceived as too risky. Too expensive. Too slow.

To Factory-based delivery

A single, scalable cloud migration model with clear inputs, outputs and quality gates at every stage of the PLM migration journey provides: 
 

  • Predictable delivery timelines through a consistent methodology
  • Fixed-price engagements with clear cost commitment
  • Data integrity validated at every stage through quality gates
  • Reusable tools and assets that accelerate future
  • Change the perception. Make migration Efficient, Affordable, and Reliable.

Transition Definition

Understand before you act

Every PLM environment is different. Transition Definition is a business-driven assessment that helps you understand your existing CAD and PDM systems, legacy data, business objectives, and migration readiness before transitioning to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, on the cloud.

Through data discovery, migration assessments, and technical feasibility analysis, we identify the right transition path for your business whether that involves a software upgrade, data migration, or a combination of both. We then define a tailored transition strategy, from a full-scale migration to an iterative approach, aligned with your expected business outcomes.

Transition Proof of Value

Validate before you commit

Validate your cloud migration transition approach before committing to full-scale execution. Transition Proof of Value helps you test and secure your transition plan using a representative customer environment and data.

Through the validation of software upgrades and data migration solutions, we help establish the foundations of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, validate standard transition methodologies, and identify potential risks early. This enables you to reduce transition risks and costs, minimize the impact on IT and business operations, and prepare key users for adoption before the wider rollout.

Transition Execution

Deliver with factory precision

Deploy, configure, and execute your transition to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud through a standardized, industrialized delivery model. Drawing on Dassault Systèmes’ proven methodologies and extensive customer experience, we optimize the transition approach for your business, whether moving to the cloud or an on-premises environment.

From setting up the transition from legacy systems to deploying, testing, and validating transition tools, each phase follows a structured approach focused on quality, efficiency, and timely delivery. We then converge and optimize the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for production, helping accelerate deployment while keeping your business priorities at the forefront.
