Our Three Presentations
We’ll be presenting three different sessions on some of our favorite themes – 3DEXPERIENCE implementation, data migration, and project management.
Our three presentations are:
Migrating Data to 3DEXPERIENCE, Monday, April 11, 2022, 11:25a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Data migration is key to a successful PLM implementation. We’ll describe our tried-and-true methods and tools.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned for Implementing 3DEXPERIENCE with a Collaborative Team While Migrating from a Legacy System to 3DEXPERIENCE,
Tuesday, April 12, 2022, 1:25 p.m.-2:15 p.m.
We’ll present real-world customer scenarios and case study examples, to share what actual customers are doing.

Project Management in 3DEXPERIENCE, Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 10:30 a.m.-11:20 a.m.
We’ll discuss some of the issues that come up in project management.
We’ve written extensively about these topics.

3DEXPERIENCE Implementation
We work very closely with all of our customers to ensure a successful PLM implementation by keeping the big picture in mind at all times, including all related PLM functions, and suggesting process improvements.

9 Best Practices to Kick Off a Successful 3DEXPERIENCE Implementation
This blog originally appeared on Dassault Systèmes North America blog, Navigate the Future. Recent blog posts dive into the nitty gritty details of implementation best practices, from setting expectations, mapping project requirements to functionality, and how to conduct a well-planned project for migrating data to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Before getting into those details, we suggest these 9 best practices to kick off a successful implementation.

3DEXPERIENCE Implementation Best Practices
Over the years, we have developed a core set of 3DEXPERIENCE implementation best practices which we summarize here.

Collaboration Best Practices Using 3DEXPERIENCE PLM
Engineering and manufacturing concerns are challenged to collaborate with various suppliers and vendors on projects. Such collaboration can be either fruitful or problematic. We look at the different ways suppliers and vendors or OEMS and Tiers can collaborate successfully using 3DEXPERIENCE PLM to improve the process.

Data Migration
We know that PLM data migrations are complex. We’ve developed proven methodologies and tools to successfully migrate legacy data, map the data from the legacy system to the new system and perform the necessary tests. We keep working until the production migration is a success.

3 Customer Successes: Complex Data Migration Projects
Here we describe three complex data migration projects for an engineering innovation company, a major aerospace contractor, and a global manufacturer and supplier of premium components for the RV, marine, automotive, and commercial vehicle industries.
xLM Completes Complex SOLIDWORKS PDM WORKGROUP Data Migration TO 3DEXPERIENCE FOR DRAPER
Read the customer success story about the data migration and how the team also extracted the Bill of Material (BOM) data from the SOLIDWORKS drawings to be used in creating the BOM in 3DEXPERIENCE.
3DEXPERIENCE Data Migration Tools
Loading data in 3DEXPERIENCE can be complicated. xLM Solutions has developed its own tool set to load data into 3DEXPERIENCE.

3DEXPERIENCE Project Management
We offer expert services in all areas of project management for 3DEXPERIENCE implementation and integration projects, and with built-in project management functionality apps within 3DEXPERIENCE. Check out related blogs:
