Migrating to Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE is a strategic step toward a future-proof, globally scalable PLM backbone. Whether driven by PLM modernization, system consolidation, mergers and acquisitions, or organizational transformation, PLM migration requires maximum reliability, transparency, and control.

OpenPDM MIGRATE by PROSTEP is a proven solution for migrating PLM and CAD data to Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE with the highest level of data integrity. It enables a controlled, automated, and loss-free transition from legacy systems or heterogeneous environments into 3DEXPERIENCE.

As a long-standing Dassault Systèmes partner, PROSTEP brings deep 3DEXPERIENCE expertise and extensive experience from complex international migration programs. From migration strategy and planning through execution and validation, we support you end to end - ensuring a smooth, efficient, and low-risk transition to 3DEXPERIENCE.

Migration success depends on choosing the right technical interfaces - based on migration strategy, data scope, and organizational readiness. Thanks to PROSTEP’s close collaboration with Dassault Systèmes, OpenPDM MIGRATE supports all relevant 3DEXPERIENCE integration options, allowing them to be combined flexibly within a single migration project.

This ensures that big-bang, incremental, hybrid, and coexistence strategies can be executed efficiently - while maintaining data consistency, transparency, and performance at enterprise scale.

XPDM Connectors

XPDM is a powerful data exchange API from Dassault Systèmes, designed to handle metadata, binary files, and CAD formats. OpenPDM MIGRATE leverages XPDM to directly provide data to a wide range of applications and formats supported by the API. This flexibility enables various migration scenarios from selective transfers to incremental updates, while supporting multiple CAD systems and complex data structures with ease.

Java / REST Connectors

To support a variety of system architectures and customer environments, OpenPDM offers more connectors for both Java-based APIs and the modern RESTful web services of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This dual support ensures compatibility with different 3DEXPERIENCE versions and data model types for migration scenarios.

Reduced Migration Risk

Certified interfaces, proven methodologies, and early validation significantly reduce technical and operational risk.

Faster Time-to-Value

Automated migration, parallel processing, and phased rollout accelerate productive use of 3DEXPERIENCE.

Improved Data Quality

Legacy data inconsistencies are identified and resolved during migration - resulting in cleaner, more reliable 3DEXPERIENCE data.

Flexible Migration Strategies

Supports big-bang, incremental, project-based, site-based, and organizational migrations.

Transparent Monitoring and Control

Migration cockpit with KPIs, progress tracking, and targeted error handling.

Loss-Free PLM & CAD Migration

Preserves metadata, structures, relationships, configurations, and CAD integrity.

Align Business, Data, and People

A successful migration to Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE is not defined by technology alone. Sustainable business value is achieved only when systems, data, and people are aligned.

The right migration strategy ensures that critical product data is available to the right stakeholders at the right time - without disrupting ongoing operations. Equally important is user adoption. Migration projects that are not closely linked to training and key-user validation often fail due to low acceptance of the new system.

By involving users early and supporting them throughout the migration process, organizations significantly reduce risk, accelerate time to value, and ensure long-term acceptance of 3DEXPERIENCE.

OpenPDM MIGRATE for Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE provides the technical maturity and flexibility required to execute your migration strategy securely and efficiently.

It supports:

  • big-bang migrations with simultaneous data and user transition
  • step-by-step migrations (project-based, site-based, or organizational)
  • unlimited test migrations for early risk mitigation

This flexibility allows organizations to align data availability with employee readiness, ensuring users gain access to migrated data exactly when they are prepared to work productively in 3DEXPERIENCE.

Legacy data quality issues are identified early and resolved during migration - resulting in significantly higher data quality in the target 3DEXPERIENCE system compared to the legacy environment.

Planning a migration to Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE? With PROSTEP, you gain a trusted partner who helps you reduce complexity and minimize risk from the very beginning.

In a dedicated 3DEXPERIENCE Migration Discovery Workshop, we work with you to:

  • Define the optimal migration scenario
  • Align data scope and user readiness
