The new CONTACT Elements Release
01/10/2024 CONTACT Software
The latest version of CONTACT Software's open low-code platform supports companies even more efficiently in the development, manufacturing, and service of their products – on-premises and in the cloud. Here’s an overview of the key features.
CONTACT Elements combines over 50 flexibly combinable modules, helping companies develop products more efficiently, bring the smart factory to life, and implement innovative digital business models. The new release of the platform offers numerous features for CIM Database PLM, Project Office, and Elements for IoT. In addition to performance improvements at the database level and regarding tool integrations, all modules are fully usable in the WebUI. Below, we present the key innovations for users in detail.
Evaluate requirements faster
The new "ReqXpert" in CIM Database makes the evaluation process of product requirements even more efficient. It expands the Requirements Engineering module with two role-based views, allowing users to assign, evaluate, and track the status of requirements faster. The advantages of the end-to-end software architecture are particularly evident in everyday work: ReqXpert is integrated into the task management system of the Elements platform, so requirements to be evaluated are automatically displayed on the task board.
Standardize product portfolio with modules
CIM Database now supports the modularization of products with its Variants module for variant management. This allows reusable modules – which, unlike components, are variable in themselves – to be integrated into products. A modular approach is particularly beneficial for companies with a high variety of product variants, helping them reduce complexity at the product level and standardize their portfolios. The advantages range from more efficient development and faster change processes to economies of scale in production.
Extensive research options for task boards
With the new release, CONTACT expands the functional scope of its project management solution, Project Office, for agile teamwork in development projects. Users can now flexibly search for and access any Task Boards, regardless of whether they are personally involved in the project. Frequently used search filters and criteria can be saved as favorites, making organization more efficient.
