As technology improves and your business needs change, you will eventually need to replace monolithic or home-grown software with a connected, future-ready PLM system. Moving the product record can be especially tricky. Planning is every bit as important as execution.
To migrate and replace part structures and CAD effectively, you need a solid strategy and expertise. Without it, transferring design data can be difficult. Choosing the right migration approach and tools is essential for a smooth transition. It's important to ask the right questions to fully understand your PLM migration.
Consider the impact of the migration on PLM users, including training needs, communication, and support.
Consider the amount of data that needs to be migrated, including the format, volume, and quality of the data.
Evaluate customizations made to your existing PLM system and determine which you cannot do without.
Assess how your PLM system integrates with ERP, CRM, and others. Make sure up and downstream systems have the right information at the right time.
Evaluate how the migration will impact existing business processes, and whether any changes are required.
Ensure that the new PLM system has adequate security measures in place to protect sensitive data.
Verify that the new PLM system complies with any applicable regulations or standards, such as ISO or FDA regulations.
Consider the future growth and expansion plans of the organization and ensure that the new PLM system can accommodate these needs.
Evaluate the level of support provided by the PLM vendor, including maintenance, upgrades, and technical assistance.
Determine the total cost of the migration. Include licensing and consulting fees, and any other associated costs.
The PLM migration approach you choose depends entirely on you, your processes, and business requirements. Each approach has its benefits. Carefully weighing your options will ensure you adopt the best methodology for your situation.
This approach involves migrating your entire PLM system to your new platform or architecture in one go. This approach is suitable for small and simple systems that do not have many dependencies.
This approach involves breaking your system down into smaller components and migrating each component in phases. This approach is suitable for larger and more complex systems that have many dependencies.
This approach involves running both your old and new systems simultaneously and gradually transferring functionality to your new one. This approach is suitable if your system needs to be highly available during the migration process.
This approach involves migrating some parts of your system to your new platform while keeping other parts on your legacy platform. This approach is suitable if your organization wants to minimize risk and ensure continuity of operations during the migration process.
This approach involves rebuilding your system from scratch on a new platform or architecture. This approach is suitable if your systems are outdated or no longer meet the needs of your organization.
The product lifecycle management migration process involves transferring data, configurations, and functionality from one PLM system to another.
Start by defining the objectives, scope, and timeline of the migration project. Identify the data and functionality that need to be migrated, and establish a clear migration strategy.
Configure and customize the target PLM system to align with the organization's specific requirements. This may involve setting up workflows, permissions, data attributes, and any customizations needed to match the functionality of the source system.
Evaluate the source PLM system's data structure, including product records, BOMs, documents, CAD files, and other relevant information. Map the data elements from the source system to the corresponding elements in the target PLM system.
Cleanse and prepare the data to ensure its quality and integrity. This may involve removing duplicate records, standardizing data formats, and resolving any inconsistencies or errors.
Execute the actual migration by transferring the data from the source system to the target system. This can be done using various methods, such as direct database transfers, data extraction and transformation, or integration tools.

Data migration is the process of converting data from one or more formats into another. This can be a two-step procedure, in which you move your existing information while also changing its storage location; though it’s not always necessary to do this at once because some companies may choose only certain parts (such as just records) during an initial conversion and leave others behind for future use with their evolving applications software systems requirements
Migrating your data is a time-consuming and sometimes tedious process. The Domain migration team could take up to 20 business days from start-to finish, but it’s worth every second of those five or seven extra working hours because when you import all that new information into one system everything falls into place! If there are any inconsistencies in what was sent over during the original conversion phase then we’ll have our staff investigate further before finally tidy’ing things up for you if desired by client request; no project should go without some additional tidying work being done where possible – especially since this can reduce costs associated with repeat invoicing down the line too
Your data import will begin once your migration specialist has been granted access to the data. This request is sent from our company in order for us to have complete control over what information goes into the system and how it’s structured, so that we can ensure a smooth user experience! We cannot send these requests anywhere else but through an account holder’s assigned email address which helps prevent any suspicious activity like hacking or identity theft as well protects their privacy at all times during this process
What a great question! We advise that the original system continues to be used and operational until data migration is signed off as correct. This means there’s no disruption in services, only when everyone involved with this project has approved of its completion does an official copy taken from your current database get converted into ours so we can continue operating without any hiccups or delays caused by human error along the way too.
After the import is complete, all of your data should be reviewed and we’ll walk you through reviewing what was imported into the new system and how to get started with using it!
