Making the value of technology clear
There are several reasons why a company may change from one 3D CAD tool to another. Research from Tech-Clarity's, “Are You Changing CAD Tools? What You Should Know” found that interestingly, those reasons have shifted over the last several years. Problems with the CAD tool used to be the primary drivers. Now, business reasons have become more important. This indicates that CAD tools have become more of a strategic piece of the overall product development solution.
However, changing something as critical as CAD involves multiple aspects. With a good understanding of best practices for adopting a new CAD tool, companies can enjoy the benefits of their new tool even sooner.
Tech-Clarity analyzed how companies rated their transition process to migrate to a new CAD tool. The experiences of those who were especially happy with how the migration went were compared to the rest. The results of this analysis became the basis for best practices for migrating to a new 3D CAD tool. While both groups reported many benefits after making the transition, Top Performing Implementers reported even greater improvement.

Software for product innovation, product development, and engineering – including PLM, CAD, and CAE – has evolved toward the cloud at a cautious pace. This market is closer to the beginning of the cloud transformation than some others such as CRM and ERP where cloud adoption is already more prevalent. But it’s happening. Initial skepticism is fading away and companies are learning how to effectively manage cloud software.
The market is responding with the entry of new cloud offerings and incumbents evolving to the cloud. For manufacturers planning to implement or replace product-related software, it’s time to develop a strategy that reflects the reality of today’s market. The strategy needs to consider:
A considered cloud transition is important to reap the benefits without major disruption. Most companies are taking a very deliberate, methodical approach to leverage the cloud. For most, a staged program with a hybrid mix of solutions will be the most reasonable approach, as few companies can justify wholesale replacement of existing systems.
Fortunately, companies may not have to do it all on their own. They can adopt a pragmatic, staged approach that coordinates with their vendor’s timeline. Many existing vendors have predefined relationships with cloud services companies and trained service providers. These partnerships can provide an IaaS or managed services approach that provides benefits without having to replace existing software. In addition, many vendors offer complementary solutions that provide unique opportunities only realistically available from the cloud. It’s important to understand the potential of these solutions in your transformation strategy.
The transition to the cloud is underway. It’s time for manufacturers to take a closer look and develop a practical strategy and timeline that works for their business.

The How-to Guide to Adopting a New 3D CAD shares best practices for changing from one 3D CAD tool to another. The guide shares the reasons you should consider making a change, potential benefits of making a change, and advice for selecting a new tool. The guide then goes deeper into the steps you should take to plan a migration, training resources, what to do with legacy data, and how to prioritize what legacy data you convert. These best practices were developed by analyzing the responses of those who were very satisfied with their transition process. Their responses were compared to the rest to identify the practices that lead to higher levels of satisfaction with a transition.
This eBook is one in a series of three:
There are several reasons why a company may change from one 3D CAD tool to another. Research from Tech-Clarity's, “Are You Changing CAD Tools? What You Should Know” found that interestingly, those reasons have shifted over the last several years. Problems with the CAD tool used to be the primary drivers. Now, business reasons have become more important. This indicates that CAD tools have become more of a strategic piece of the overall product development solution.
However, changing something as critical as CAD involves multiple aspects. With a good understanding of best practices for adopting a new CAD tool, companies can enjoy the benefits of their new tool even sooner.
Tech-Clarity analyzed how companies rated their transition process to migrate to a new CAD tool. The experiences of those who were especially happy with how the migration went were compared to the rest. The results of this analysis became the basis for best practices for migrating to a new 3D CAD tool. While both groups reported many benefits after making the transition, Top Performing Implementers reported even greater improvement.
