PROSTEP AG is launching a new chapter in its 30-year success story: By moving our company headquarters from Dolivostrasse to Heinrich-Hertz-Strasse, we are responding to changes in the amount of space we need and to requirements regarding workplaces of the future. Despite their growing number, our employees require less office space and fewer individual offices. What they need instead is more social space, where they can sit down with colleagues and exchange information and ideas when they are in the office. We gave this aspect due consideration when designing the new office space.

IT landscapes in the marine and offshore industry are even more heterogeneous than in other industries. As a result, companies find it difficult to achieve seamless information flows. In particular, there are gaps in the process chain between design and NC programming. OpenPDM SHIP closes one of these gaps by connecting shipbuilding CAD systems to the PEMAMEK WeldControl software.

An ever-increasing number of carmakers are requiring their development partners and suppliers to comply with the TISAX standard for information security. This also applies to data exchange.

Following the US government's imposition of high tariffs, the question arises as to how the EU will respond and whether possible counter-tariffs could also include digital products and services from the US. However, European companies also fear legal upheaval for cloud-usage a result of Donald Trump's erratic policies, as the magazine Digital Business recently wrote in an article that is well worth reading.

Deloitte and PROSTEP have implemented a number of practice-oriented use cases for end-to-end data processes at Deloitte's "Smart Factory", with an end-to-end digital process chain that links requirements engineering, model-based systems engineering and development serving as an example. The use cases demonstrate how end-to-end traceability works and how the foundation for AI-assisted processes can be laid.

Getting to grips with changes poses a major challenge when it comes to developing complex, software-intensive products. Companies therefore need a cross-domain global change management system that ensures transparency across the boundaries of different departments and systems when changes are made. The digital thread solution OpenCLM makes it possible for them to link their processes and IT systems in a transparent manner.
COExperience in Reno, the prostep ivip Symposium in Berlin, AFCEA in Bonn and Realize LIVE in Detroit – the sales team from PROSTEP, PROSTEP's subsidiary BHC, and PROSTEP, Inc. barely had time to unpack their suitcases this quarter. Their luggage always included our comprehensive range of consulting services and solutions for end-to-end digitalization.
