CONTACT Software and the PLM and CPQ specialists dpace are now joining forces to implement PLM projects and provide long-term support for their customers.

The partnership combines CONTACT’s technology with dpace’s implementation expertise. CONTACT’s PLM solution CIM Database is based on the open, modular Elements platform. It integrates data from third-party systems, can be hosted in the cloud, and embeds artificial intelligence (AI) system-wide. This creates a future-proof foundation for digital transformation.

As a service partner, dpace supports companies in the introduction of CIM Database—from consulting, implementation, system integration, and data migration to operation and customized development.

“The partnership with CONTACT is a logical step for us. We not only share the same quality standards for PLM projects, but also complement each other both methodologically and on a personal level. CONTACT offers future-oriented software solutions—and we provide the corresponding implementation expertise,” says Kay Mengeringhausen, CEO of dpace.

“This collaboration not only highlights the future viability of our platform—it also underscores our commitment to making the CONTACT Global Ecosystem attractive to our customers together with like-minded partners and their technical and methodological excellence,” says Michael Küpper, director of CONTACT Consulting.
