What is digital continuity in industry?

It is the reliable flow of product data, with no re-keying, between the design office, manufacturing engineering, production and after-sales service, made possible by PLM, ERP, MES and EAM. We believe the product must be placed at the centre of information systems to achieve this.

Which software solutions do you master?

Our consultants work on the leading market solutions: Dassault Systèmes (3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA…), PTC, Siemens, SAP, IBM Maximo and many others. CNEXT is a Dassault Systèmes Consulting & System Integration (CSI) partner.

Do you work on projects that are already under way?

Yes. We reinforce existing teams (project assistance, project management, expertise), take over ongoing projects, and handle version upgrades, application maintenance and training for your teams.

Which industries and regions do you cover?

Aerospace, automotive, transport, energy, defence, naval, manufacturing, life sciences and the food industry. We are present in Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Clermont-Ferrand, Le Havre and Marseille, and work in France and across Europe (Belgium, Switzerland, Germany…).
