Project management – Execute complex projects agile and right on target
Demanding projects, for example in engineering, often miss their time and cost frame because planning and implementation diverge. Hybrid project management combines planning, control and execution hand in hand through the interplay of agile and classic processes. Our solution: Project Office powered by CONTACT Elements.

CONTACT Elements
The world's best platform to design and operate smart products
"CONTACT’s approach to digital threads based on CONTACT Elements’ open web architecture, configurable data model, and composable reusable components enables companies to break down silos and connect their data and processes across the product lifecycle from concept through life."
Mark Reisig, CIMdata 2024, on CONTACT as enabler for digital threads
Modular instead of monolithic
Use new building blocks faster, as with LEGO, and make updates productive earlier
Open interfaces instead of vendor lock-in
Use leading open source software and connect different systems more easily
Configuration instead of programming
Implement your own solutions more agilely in the low-code platform and maintain them more easily
Connecting data and processes end-to-end
Break down data silos and ensure interoperability along the digital thread
