It was a strategic move to create a consistent, enterprise-wide digital thread—one that supports Sierra Nevada’s model-based approach to managing complex defense programs.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-financial-case-for-modernization-1\">The Financial Case for Modernization\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The financial argument for PLM modernization isn’t just about avoiding costs—it’s about capturing value that legacy systems leave on the table.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Kobelco Construction Machinery\u003C/strong> offers one of the clearest examples. For years, this heavy machinery innovator relied on highly customized legacy solutions that restricted information sharing. By transitioning to the \u003Cstrong>3D\u003C/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, they provided secure access to 3D models across global teams. They expect this unified approach to streamline operations, potentially reducing cycle times and saving 1.1 billion yen annually in procurement costs.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Never before has the concept that “time is money” been more true than it is today. When companies remain stuck in past deployments, heavily customizing their legacy PLM tools, they create significant technical debt. These deep customizations make routine software upgrades difficult, expensive and risky. As a result, IT departments are often forced to remain on outdated versions, forgoing critical new capabilities and security patches.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This rigid infrastructure limits an enterprise’s ability to scale. Data becomes trapped in disconnected silos, forcing engineers to manually transfer files between systems. This disjointed architecture leads to data duplication, broken links and severe operational delays. Instead of focusing on innovation, highly skilled employees spend hours managing files and verifying data integrity.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Faster to market is winning new financial gains.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Turkish rail interior manufacturer, \u003Cstrong>Canray Transportation\u003C/strong>, previously managed design data through a disjointed, file-based system. Moving to the cloud-based platform connected their entire product lifecycle with a single digital thread. This change eliminated broken data links and reduced their design-to-validation cycle from four weeks to just one.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the SaaS side, the total cost of ownership argument is perhaps the most compelling. When you remove infrastructure investment, eliminate the IT overhead of maintaining on-premise servers, reduce upgrade project costs and factor in the speed advantage of getting new capabilities immediately rather than through a multi-year upgrade cycle, the financial case builds quickly.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Netherlands-based \u003Cstrong>Van Dam Machine \u003C/strong>chose to leave its on-premise installation behind and implement the \u003Cstrong>3D\u003C/strong>EXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.
