System change? Is it worth it?

Switching to another software?

Is that even possible? Short answer: Yes! It's even easier than you think.

In practice, the reasons for a change are always the same.

There are many good reasons why switching from a system you are already using to an alternative software solution from the areas of CAD, CAM and PDM can make sense. But this step is often not that easy: first there is the extensive test phase, training, subsequent customization, adapting your own processes, and finally... you live with it.

…. too costly. 80%
… too confusing. 60%
… too extensive. 50%
… only available via license models. 60%
…not expandable, no longer meets the requirements. 70%
But that doesn't have to be the case. Change and a healthy culture of error bring progress.

Whether a system can meet the requirements in daily use can usually only be reliably evaluated over a certain period of time. If we look at the reasons given by our customers who have made a change, we arrive at the figures on the left. These values ​​correspond to the experiences of our teams in the private sector. A lot of software is not in use in everyday life, which can ultimately lead to obstacles when purchasing a new tool. And then clearly noticeable or even necessary process improvements may be prevented.

Now we have invested a lot of money. But what if?

Was aber, wenn ein System sich als ineffizient herausstellt? Oder Ihr Team die Software einfach nicht annimmt?
Oder viel zu viele Optionen verwirren? Oder doch zu wenige Funktionen Ihre Workflows beinträchtigen?

But which systems can GAIN Collaboration actually replace?
