CONTACT Software –Energizing great minds

We create working worlds so that people can collaborate more easily and develop even better products. And so that they can make product data the centerpiece of their IoT services. CONTACT is the leading ven-dor of open standard software for the product engineering process and the digital transformation. Our products help organize projects, execute processes reliably and collaborate with others around the world on the basis of virtual product models and their digital twins. Our open tech-nology and our Elements platform are ideal for integrating additional IT systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create end-to-end business processes.

Powered by CONTACT ElementsThe open platform – made for agile times

Our software and servicesDesign principle: Modular instead of monolithicThe foundation is our CONTACT Elements platform. Like Lego, CONTACT Elements‘ modular design principle allows comprehensive applications to be created that are far more than the sum of their parts: each outstand-ing in its own right, together something unique. The same is true of its consistent ease of use and thus out-standing user experience. Our open standard solutions support the product lifecycle from the initial idea through to its deployment at customer sites.

Our open standard solutions are CIM Database PLM, Project Office, Workspaces and Elements for IoT. We combine data management for virtual products with the functions required for collaboration and for process and project management in product development. We offer an extensive library for industrial IoT services, with modules for the digital twinning of real products.

Achieving objectives faster, reliably and with agilityWe live in a world of innovative companies that are working on the products of the future each and every day and are putting the digital transformation to smarter products into motion. Our priority is to consider in depth, listen carefully and offer advice on an equal footing with our partners. What drives us is developing software that works in the real world of day-to-day business and makes companies much more efficient and users more effective.

We do this by utilizing our more than 25 years of experience, the expertise gained from hundreds of projects for industry and the CONTACT Global Ecosystem for solutions that work around the clock around the globe. Our employees, with their pioneering spirit and short communication paths, work to help their customers achieve objectives faster and enable them to respond flexibly to new challenges.
