Our services
Tailored integration and deployment of PLM, ERP and MES solutions
From architecture to configuration, from development to data migration: our consultants integrate your solutions and connect them to the rest of your IT landscape.
Who is it for?
Industrial companies deploying a new solution or replacing a legacy one, and integrators that need to strengthen their teams on a project.
Common situations
- You are deploying a new PLM, ERP, MES, APS or EAM solution.
- You are replacing a legacy solution and need to migrate its data.
- You need to connect several components of your IT landscape through reliable interfaces.
- Your integrator needs additional consultants to stay on schedule.
Your objectives
- A solution that meets the validated requirements
- Reliable interfaces between PLM, ERP, MES and EAM
- Controlled data migration
- A secure go-live
What we do
We design the application and technical architecture, configure the solution, develop the necessary extensions and interfaces, then prepare and execute the data migration. We favour the vendor’s standard to make future upgrades easier.
Our architects define the solution, software and infrastructure architecture. Our functional consultants configure the solution with your key users, our developers build the extensions and interfaces, and our data experts prepare the migrations.

Engagement models
We adapt the way we work to your organisation.
One-off expertise
An expert addresses a specific question: an audit, an opinion on an architecture, a review of a specification.
Project support
A CNEXT team takes charge of all or part of the project, with a single point of contact.
Team reinforcement
Consultants join your teams or your integrator’s, on a technical assistance basis.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with the major integrators?
Yes. We work directly for manufacturers and as reinforcement for solution integrators, with CVs and consultants suited to their projects.
How do you limit customisation?
By comparing each request with the solution’s standard and documenting the deviations. Less customisation means simpler upgrades.
Can you work on the infrastructure?
Yes: IT architecture and deployment, environments, performance and security, working with your teams or your managed service provider.
How do we get started?
To get started, an initial conversation is all it takes: you present your context and objectives, and we propose an approach and the right profiles. We can begin with a short scoping assignment before committing for the longer term.
