The evolution of PLM: From Oracle Agile to CIM Database

Logo CIM Database

In August 2025, Oracle will stop providing premium support for its PLM software Agile e6. As a result, product enhancements, security patches, and bug fixes will be discontinued. Following the end of life of Oracle Agile, the software can no longer be adapted to updates of operating systems, databases, WebLogic Servers, and Java versions. Companies are forced to isolate the tool during operation, which leads to security risks and inefficiencies.

Oracle Agile is deeply rooted in the systems and processes of product lifecycle, from development to after sales. Our experts know the intricacies of working with the Oracle platform and use migration tools to ensure a smooth transition. With CIM Database, your company gets a modular alternative that combines functions for project management, product centric document management, process automation and asset management.

Benefits

  • Foster collaboration, combine product data and knowledge in a single source of truth
  • Flexibly combine software modules to fit your product development
  • Migrate data quickly and securely, use parallel support for both systems
  • Master multi-CAD environments, efficiently manage cross-functional collaboration
  • Integrate IoT and AI functions into the PLM solution as needed
The benefits of switching from Agile PLM e6 to CIM Database.

Share knowledge with all stakeholders of product development

CIM Database connects data on a central platform.

As a single source of truth, CIM Database ensures efficient and smooth team collaboration. Your employees have access to consistent information and share knowledge across departments and the entire company. This is made possible through integrations for systems such as Mechanical CAD, Electric and Electronic CAD and ERP.

Customize your PLM solution to your processes and systems

CIM Database can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of manufacturing companies.

Companies that use Oracle Agile have integrated the software deeply into their processes and systems. To succeed it, they need an alternative that can be flexibly adapted to the requirements and processes of the development organization. Unlike restrictively structured PDM/PLM solutions, CIM Database operates on a modular principle. Thanks to a no-code/low-code approach, it can be tailored to your product development without complex programming, whether on-premises  or cloud-based (Cloud PLM).

“With CIM Database, we have found a modern and future-proof replacement for Oracle Agile e6 that can be easily expanded.”

Ensure a fast and secure PLM migration

CONTACT Software and its partners can make the switch from Agile PLM e6 to CIM Database quickly and smoothly.

Our team knows the customized adaptations that evolve through the use of Oracle Agile. It works with migration tools that capture the customization of your Oracle-installation. They transfer data from the old software to CIM Database quickly and easily. In addition, Oracle Agile users have access to parallel support for both systems. This reduces risks during the critical migration phase to a minimum.

Master the complexity of your multi-CAD landscape

With CIM Database, companies can master multi-CAD environments.

To develop complex products in collaboration with other locations, external suppliers, and customers, companies need a logically structured, central PLM environment. It serves as a data and process hub. CIM Database combines all requirements in core areas such as process reliability or “work in progress”. You benefit from a powerful software that enables efficient control of cross-discipline processes thanks to shared workspaces and reliable product data.

Expand the product development platform as required

Overview of the CIM Database function modules.

The potential that technologies such as Artificial Intelligence or the Internet of Things offer for product development is growing continuously. However, harnessing them all at once is not feasible for every company. That is why CIM Database follows the principle “start small, think big”. The modular platform can be gradually expanded into a comprehensive solution, from the idea, product development process, through to production and after sales.

Using the challenges of digital transformation as an opportunity

IT systems are innovation drivers at best - and innovation dead ends at worst. Systems that can no longer be further developed slow down the innovation productivity of companies. However, many companies shy away from a system change because they fear that it will be risky, lengthy and expensive. We have bundled our extensive know-how from hundreds of projects into the Smooth Migration methodology. Learn how a system change works smoothly.
