Most startups can’t afford to have a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution right from inception – typically they would make the transition to a new system only when they are ready for commercial launch. This wasn’t good enough for Indian electric scooter startup River Mobility, who decided that it wanted a PLM system in place early on so that it could design its products efficiently and go to market fast.
This approach has paid off. By deploying Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud out-of-the-box, River Mobility hasn’t had to spend time customizing its own solution or working out its own product development process. And because the platform is hosted in the cloud, there was no need for a lengthy implementation.
“I have worked with many different solutions in my previous jobs, and implementation has often been a challenge,” said Mazher Ali Baig Mirza, Head of Mechanical Design at River Mobility. “There was always a lot of work to be done adapting solutions to different users, running test cases, setting up the staging environment and checking how the system was behaving. It wasn’t unusual for all of this to take a full year. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, however, we didn’t have any of this. We had immediate time-to-value.”
As well as the benefits of added security and regular updates, choosing the cloud proved to be cost-effective. Without having to allocate finances to servers and the additional resources required to host an on-premises solution, River Mobility could focus fully on design and manufacturing.
