CAD

You are migrating to Teamcenter, Windchill+, ENOVIA, or another PLM system. The project scope is defined, the timeline is set, and the licenses are signed. But one critical area has probably not yet been properly assessed: the actual condition of your technical data, CAD drawings, BOMs, routings, ECO histories, and revision relationships. 83% of data migration projects fail or significantly exceed their budgets and timelines (Gartner). In an industrial PLM environment, the consequences go beyond financial losses: inaccessible drawings, corrupted BOMs, broken traceability, and production downtime. This article identifies the 5 most critical risks, backed by real-world examples and sourced data, and explains how to prevent them before they materialize.
