We integrate the future
The PROSTEP Group is the leading independent provider of consulting services and software that cover every aspect of product lifecycle management (PLM) and application lifecycle management (ALM). We help manufacturing companies establish end-to-end digitalization and thus enhance their innovative capability and competitiveness.
Our strength lies in a combination of top-notch services and outstanding products. We offer our customers services ranging from PLM strategy consulting and process optimization to system selection and optimization through to consulting on every aspect of process, method and IT system design in mechatronics and software environments. And we offer them software solutions for PLM integration and migration, collaboration, and secure data exchange and conversion. This makes it possible for our customers to develop, manufacture, and operate highly complex products and systems.
Greater PLM benefits thanks to artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology which, in combination with other technologies, is dramatically accelerating digital transformation of the economy and society. According to forecasts, it will trigger a surge in growth worth several billion US dollars over the next few years. Companies that want to benefit from this surge in growth need to deal with the topic AI now.
PROSTEP places clear focus on the symbiosis of AI and PLM. We automate and optimize our customers' PLM processes with the help of the AI methods best suited to the use case in question. These include machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision. We build data models and make the information easier to interpret with the help of ontologies.
