A Broad Software Partner Network Built on Trust and Neutrality. Digital transformation and Digital Thread initiatives require collaboration across a wide range of specialized software solutions. PROSTEP maintains long-standing partnerships with leading and innovative software vendors across PLM, ALM, MBSE, ERP, simulation, materials data, and engineering domains.

As a vendor-neutral solution provider, PROSTEP does not sell software licenses and is therefore able to advise independently and objectively. Our customers trust us to design architectures that combine the best-suited technologies for their specific processes, organizations, and business goals.

At the same time, software vendors value PROSTEP as a competent, neutral integration and solution partner. This trust is reflected in close technical cooperation, benchmark participation, early-access programs, and joint customer projects - often involving multiple vendors at once, handled with full confidentiality and professionalism.

No single software vendor can cover the full complexity of modern product development. Successful Digital Thread strategies rely on best-of-breed solutions that must work together seamlessly.

PROSTEP enables this collaboration by:

  • integrating heterogeneous software landscapes
  • orchestrating data, processes, and traceability across domains
  • maintaining neutrality between competing vendors
  • ensuring future-proof connectivity across system releases

This positions PROSTEP as the trusted intermediary in the center - aligning vendor technologies with customer needs and long-term business objectives.

The following software partners complement PROSTEP’s strategic vendor partnerships and extend the Digital Thread across specialized domains.

Software-Hersteller

Each of these partnerships contributes specific domain expertise - ranging from simulation and materials data to ERP, requirements management, publishing, and manufacturing systems.

PROSTEP’s extensive software partner ecosystem is a key enabler for the PROSTEP System Connector portfolio. Direct collaboration with vendors allows PROSTEP to:

  • develop connectors based on official APIs
  • validate integrations against future releases
  • respond quickly to customer-specific requirements

This ensures reliable, long-term connectivity across evolving software landscapes.

In many customer projects, PROSTEP works simultaneously with multiple competing software vendors. Our neutrality and strict confidentiality practices ensure that:

  • sensitive information is protected
  • vendor interests are balanced fairly
  • customer goals remain the primary focus

This approach has established PROSTEP as a trusted partner for complex, multi-vendor Digital Thread initiatives.

All software partner solutions integrate seamlessly into the PROSTEP Digital Thread Platform, combining:

  • OpenPDM INTEGRATE for system connectivity
  • OpenDXM COLLABORATE for data exchange and collaboration
  • OpenCLM TRACEABILITY for cross-domain transparency

Together, these capabilities enable end-to-end Digital Thread solutions across diverse software ecosystems.
