10 REASONS TO CHOOSE DOCUMENTA

Documenta PLM is a multi-functional software platform that inter-connects and integrates people, data, software applications, machinery, and equipment both inside and outside the company. It makes the management of the product lifecycle, from the Concept phase to Service, more effective and streamlined.

Documenta PLM makes information available in real-time and enhances project collaboration through advanced tools for direct interaction with external design units, suppliers, and customers. Here are 10 reasons why you should choose Documenta PLM.

Experience and Reliability

The guarantee of success for a PLM project, and the consequent achievement of a significantly positive ROI (Return on Investment), relies on correctly interpreting the initial state of the processes and considering the objectives for improving management efficiency. Thanks to hundreds of projects implemented across different industrial contexts, Documenta PLM’s Application Engineers provide the necessary operational consulting components that are a determining success factor in new project implementations.

Operational Continuity

The implementation of a new PLM project within a company’s operational context must necessarily include the retrieval and deployment of historical data and documents from file systems or other applications. A new Documenta PLM project normally includes support services for recovering historical data and documents through specific software functionalities, ensuring full operational continuity for the client company upon go-live.

Your Comfort Zone

Having the situation under control. Not having to search through various applications for the information necessary to perform your activities. Being able to manage your agenda planning and track actual worked hours with allocation to respective orders/projects. Through its functionalities for calendar management, worked hours, project management, and workflow management, Documenta PLM allows you to interact with your work activity, both inside and outside the company, in an efficient and controlled manner.

Management Efficiency

The drastic reduction in time spent searching for documents—specifically, those in the correct revision. The application of rules for interaction between users and documents. Possible access to documentation via WEB from outside the company. These three aspects of the broader functional context included in Documenta PLM’s DMS (Document Management System) area can, by themselves, guarantee a leap forward in operational efficiency for any company.

Peace of Mind (Security)

The secure archiving of the corporate archive and the protection of know-how. Control over user access to and distribution of data and documents. Controlled interaction and document exchange with customers, suppliers, and other external corporate stakeholders via email. Immediate notification systems that flag unauthorized activities by company users in document interactions. Documenta PLM guarantees the peace of mind of having the corporate data and document archive in full control and complete security.

Industrialization

The coding rules set up in Documenta PLM allow for the automatic generation of the item code during the drawing and design phase, with direct integration to the ERP subsequently populating the corporate master data. From the design phase of a 3D assembly, it allows for the derivation of the BOM (Bill of Materials) essential for product industrialization. Serial number management on devices leads to more efficient after-sales support activities. The reduction of time and elimination of errors ensure greater operational fluidity.

Engineering Integration

Documenta PLM integrates application systems such as the CAD design environment, the MS-Office productivity environment, the ERP environment, and the IoT. Through Engineering Integration, Documenta PLM is the software platform that securely makes information available to all users across the departments involved in industrial order management.

True Digitalization

In the manufacturing sector, PLM is considered by numerous studies to be the linchpin of digital transformation. The Business Process Management functionalities included in Documenta PLM allow for the creation of operational models and their experimentation with a view towards measurability and improvement, as well as drastically reducing non-value-added activities. Greater efficiency guarantees more time to experiment, innovate, and optimize projects.

Management of External Relations

Within the Business Process Management area, Documenta PLM features powerful Document Controlling Transmittal functionalities—an integrated system for managing and sharing document transmissions during the complex status advancement phases of industrial orders. Integrated with Documenta’s document area and primarily geared towards engineering, planning, and construction, this functional set enables full control over interactions based on document exchange, simplifying the control activities of Project Managers.

Controlled and Efficient Planning

Documenta PLM includes powerful Project Management functionalities to support the planning of company projects and activities, resource assignment, deadline compliance verification, budget management, and workload analysis. Every company project and/or order, or generic macro-activity, can be represented by a Gantt chart contextualized within the corporate calendar, providing a realistic representation of the new activity’s impact on active company resources.

Choosing Documenta means choosing us: our people, our history, and our experience. Documenta is not just a software; it is the expression of a system composed of people and ideas, products, services, and successful references.
