.riess® MigrationSuite is the right application for you to migrate your data from your previous Product Data Management system or your file server to SAP PLM. The core builds a dedicated migration database that manages all of your PTC Creo Parametric files, structures and other file types, as well as all their associated metadata. This database is the central link between source and target system and enables special functions of the .riess® MigrationSuite like delta migration of your CAD data to ensure an uninterupted switch of your data management over to SAP PLM.

You can define easy or complex search queries for the source PDM system due to the user interface of the .riess® MigrationSuite. The gathered files and structures from PTC Creo Parametric, as well as all other required files will be exported and stored in the .riess® MigrationSuite database. Before the data will be imported into SAP PLM, these files and their metadata can be enhanced with further metadata from the source system if neccecary.

.riess® MigrationSuite enables you to perform the data migration by yourself or with the support of our migration specialists. In that case you will benefit from the extensive experience of our consultants gained in numerous migration projects.

The data migration offers a chance for you to enhance your data quality by cleaning up and consolidating your data.

Features

Due to its client/server architecture, .riess® MigrationSuite can parallelize the export of files from a source system utilizing multiple export clients at the same time. Optimal load balance and allocation of the export clients is controlled and ensured by the .riess® MigrationCore.

PDM systems work with unique structures of their data. .riess® MigrationSuite is optimized to consume data from various source systems and translate them to the SAP data model to ensure the best possible migration of your existing data.

The analysis functions of .riess® MigrationSuite can identify corrupt assemblies. This enables you to perform an easy, efficient and fast data cleansing which ensures an optimal data migration result.

Merge of multiple source databases (e.g. PTC Windchill PDMLink, Pro/INTRALINK, Windows file system and SAP). For international group structures, this enables the consolidation of several locally held databases for import to SAP.

PLM/PDM systems are the central point of your engineering data. The more time passes, the more likely it is that a system contains redundant files with the exact same content. .riess® MigrationSuite offers easy to use tools to identify duplicates when merging multiple source databases (e.g. different engineering sites).

This creates a consolidated data stream to SAP. It is possible to consider existing data in SAP, but of course also to create new data. We support internal and external number ranges.

The combination of both, the central migration database and the modular approach of .riess® MigrationSuite, enable the utilization of multiple export modules simultaneously for the migration of different sources.

PTC Creo Parametric files can be automatically renamed as part of the migration. Furthermore, in addition to a structural control, parameters can also be read out from models and models can be enriched and, if necessary, changed according to customer requirements.
