How 3DEXPERIENCE On Cloud Adoption Helps Maintain Digital Continuity in Organizations

“Cloud” has been the buzzword for the past few years. Many companies have identified the upcoming business needs and challenges and have adapted by shifting to On-Cloud solutions. Decision makers need to be always connected digitally with the respective stakeholders.

The main conundrum now is that how can design and manufacturing be connected through cloud. Based on interactions with customers, some of the challenges perceived by them are listed below:

1. How can digital continuity be maintained from RFQ to marketing and sales?
2. How to connect service providers and respective stakeholders all the time by maintaining the same data connectivity?
3. How to perform design, reviews, manage projects, conduct live digital meetings and so on?

Below are the 10 ways how the adoption of 3DEXPERIENCE On Cloud from Dassault Systèmes has helped customers tackle these challenges and maintain the digital continuity.

1. 3DEXPERIENCE On Cloud provides a holistic real-time visibility of business to all stakeholders connecting people, ideas, data and solutions in a single collaborative and interactive environment.
2. Cloud enables everyone involved in the project to interact, imagine, design, simulate and deliver.
3. With the help of Cloud, collecting, importing and sharing project data can be done immediately to the respective team. Data can be stored in 3DSpace, a centralized server of Dassault Systèmes maintained by Amazon Web Services.
4. Assigning and managing tasks or projects between different stakeholders and tracking the projects through web can be done by Cloud.
5. Design reviews can be done on the fly irrespective of the location.
6. Using Market Place and Part Supply accessibility, order can be sent to the certified suppliers or vendors.
7. The Cloud solution is cost effective and provides immediate access to users.
8. Cloud is adaptable, flexible and scalable with automatic updates.
9. It enables faster collaboration by enabling accessibility anywhere, anytime and on any device.
10. It is secure with protected environment.
