The pending discontinuation of Oracle’s Agile PLM has left many businesses grappling with critical decisions regarding what direction to take with their product lifecycle management (PLM) systems. With the rapid evolution of market demands, innovation and enterprise collaboration, PLM systems remain essential. Yet now, the opportunity is available for Agile users to move to a new solution that not only supports core PLM functionality but also transforms your organization’s operations.
The Ripple Effect of Oracle Agile PLM’s End-of-Life
Oracle’s decision to sunset Agile PLM by 2027 means the platform will no longer receive updates, security patches or technical support. This introduces risks like non-compliance, data interoperability and an inability to meet evolving environmental standards. Companies using Agile PLM face tough questions:
- How will they maintain secure and connected systems?
- Will their PLM strategies remain effective for future challenges?
- How can they evolve in a way that creates new opportunities rather than disruptions?
While Oracle offers its Fusion Cloud PLM as an alternative, many organizations find it lacks functionality, flexibility and integration capabilities. This makes it the perfect time to re-imagine PLM strategies and transition to an innovative platform that supports business goals and growth.
Why Transitioning to ENOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is the Answer
ENOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers the next generation of PLM. This is the result of 7 generations (Gen 7) of technological evolution at Dassault Systèmes, which has been leading the market into the Generative Economy. Here, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform acts as a hub for enterprise knowledge and know-how, allowing all intellectual property (IP) to be combined with advanced lifecycle management functionality (“IPLM”) to better explore and deliver innovation across products, processes and the enterprise as a whole.
Here’s why ENOVIA is a top leader in the PLM space:
Strengthen integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform: Leverage a comprehensive platform that aligns product development, business processes and customer needs.
Enhance process efficiency and innovation with advanced PLM tools: Optimize workflows and accelerate innovation using state-of-the-art PLM capabilities.
Provide tools to streamline product development and delivery: Simplify product design and manufacturing processes for faster, more efficient outcomes.
Support businesses in adapting to evolving marketing demands: Equip organizations with flexible tools to respond quickly and effectively to changing industry and customer expectations.
Drive better decision-making with real-time data and insights: Deliver actionable insights through up-to-date analytics that support strategic planning and execution.
1. 3D UNIV+RSES
In Gen 7, 3D UNIV+RSES represent a new class of world representation: Virtual plus Real (V+R) representations that holistically combine modeling, simulation, real-world evidence and AI-generated content. It offers a unique and secure environment for securely combining and cross-simulating enterprise IP across multi-AI engines.
2. Virtual Twin Experiences
One of the core pillars of 3D UNIV+RSES, Virtual Twin Experiences enable organizations to dynamically create and visualize products, processes and operations using the power of science-based modeling and simulation, data science and collaboration. This enables a closed-loop connection between virtual and real worlds, allowing teams to explore an unlimited number of possibilities and scenarios. As a result, businesses design and test products and experiences from inception to market delivery and usage, before actually producing them.
3. Unified Collaboration Across Teams and Disciplines
Disconnected tools and fragmented workflows hinder collaboration and innovation. ENOVIA integrates teams, data and processes into a single, unified environment. Users seamlessly collaborate in real-time, regardless of location or discipline. This breaks down silos and supports a dynamic exchange of knowledge and know-how across the entire organization.
4. Cloud-Native Capabilities for Operational Excellence
ENOVIA is available in a true, cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. This is far better than non-SaaS PLM systems hosted on a cloud server, enabling organizations to:
- Provide global teams with real-time collaboration from anywhere, on any device.
- Gain immediate access to updates.
- Scale operations effortlessly.
- Reduce IT overhead.
By transitioning to a cloud-native PLM system, businesses can lower costs and gain agility to adapt quickly to market changes.
5. Advanced Product Development
Modern product development requires managing complex systems and integrating mechanical, electrical and software components. ENOVIA excels in:
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE): Improve communication, collaboration and efficiency across the entire system lifecycle.
- Digital Continuity: Connect all aspects of product development in real-time to ensure traceability and accuracy while reducing errors and rework.
- Unified Design Environment: ENOVIA integrates seamlessly with industry-leading MCAD and ECAD systems to maintain a unified product definition.
- Enterprise Openness: By design, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports industry standards for data exchange and interoperability with enterprise systems.
6. Industry-Specific Solutions
Every industry faces unique challenges. ENOVIA offers tailored industry process solutions for 12 industries. These industry-specific capabilities help ensure compliance with regulations, improve supply chain collaboration and streamline workflows.
7. Sustainable Innovation and Lifecycle Management
ENOVIA empowers businesses to meet increasing sustainability demands by integrating lifecycle assessments through all phases of product development. This allows for streamlined product design while maintaining cost and sustainability targets.
