PROSTEP is a vendor-neutral solution provider with a clear mission: to design the best possible solutions for our customers’ processes, people, and business goals.

Because PROSTEP does not sell vendor licenses, we are able to provide objective, independent consulting across PLM, ALM, MBSE, ERP, and engineering domains. Our customers see us as the trusted intermediary in the center - connecting systems, organizations, and disciplines while maintaining full neutrality and confidentiality.

This neutrality is equally valued by software vendors. The trust goes so far that PROSTEP is regularly included in vendor benchmarks, preview programs, and early-release initiatives. In many customer engagements, PROSTEP works with multiple or even competing vendors at the same time, always with the required discretion, professionalism, and impartiality.

We value partnerships the same way we expect them from our partners: open, reliable, long-term, and based on mutual trust.

Digital transformation and Digital Thread initiatives span multiple domains, systems, and vendors. No single software provider can cover all requirements. Success depends on seamless collaboration between best-of-breed solutions and on a partner who can orchestrate them holistically.

PROSTEP’s strong partner ecosystem enables us to:

  • design vendor-neutral architectures
  • integrate heterogeneous system landscapes
  • provide future-proof connectivity across system releases
  • align technology with real business needs

Our close cooperation with software vendors ensures deep technical insight, while our independence ensures that every solution is tailored to the customer.

True Vendor Neutrality

PROSTEP does not sell licenses and therefore advises independently, objectively, and exclusively in the customer’s interest.

Trusted Intermediary Role

Customers and vendors alike rely on PROSTEP as a neutral mediator between systems, organizations, and stakeholders.

Future-Proof Solutions

Early access to vendor previews and benchmarks ensures long-term stability and compatibility of PROSTEP solutions.

Release-Safe System Connectivity

Close vendor partnerships allow PROSTEP to test connectors and integrations early against upcoming system releases.

Certified Interfaces and APIs

PROSTEP solutions rely on vendor-approved APIs and integration mechanisms for long-term reliability.

Scalable Integration Portfolio

The partner ecosystem enables rapid development and extension of PROSTEP System Connectors across domains.

PROSTEP partnerships are not transactional, they are strategic. Long-standing collaboration with leading software vendors enables continuous knowledge exchange, joint roadmap alignment, and early validation of integration scenarios.

This ensures that PROSTEP solutions remain robust, scalable, and aligned with future technology trends, while customers retain full flexibility and independence in vendor selection.

Neutrality is the foundation of PROSTEP’s success. Because we are not tied to any vendor’s sales targets, customers trust us to:

  • challenge existing architectures
  • recommend alternative solutions
  • balance technical feasibility with business value

At the same time, vendors trust PROSTEP to act professionally, confidentially, and fairly - especially in multi-vendor environments.

Our partnerships are a key enabler for the extensive PROSTEP System Connector portfolio. Early involvement in preview releases and direct access to vendor expertise allow PROSTEP to:

  • develop connectors faster
  • ensure compatibility with future releases
  • maintain high quality and stability standards

This ensures that customers can rely on long-term connectivity across evolving system landscapes.
