Seamlessly Upgrade Your PLM Environment with Plural
Upgrading your PLM system is complex—managing integrations, ensuring stability, and minimizing disruptions are key to success. Here’s how Plural can help you plan and execute your upgrade efficiently.
Key Considerations for a Successful PLM Upgrade
Timing Matters
Plan upgrades carefully to prevent conflicts with other systems, such as CAD or ERP. Ensure that new versions of dependent software are supported for a minimum of 2-3 years
Choosing the Right Version
Instead of automatically choosing the latest version, go for the stable version with patches for improved stability, unless the new features in the latest release are critical for your business
Testing is Key
Thorough testing is essential. Identify and resolve critical bugs before deployment, particularly through load and performance testing with real users
Pause Development
Freeze any system changes during the upgrade to streamline troubleshooting
Simplify Your Data Model
Review past customizations and switch to out-of-the-box features wherever possible to reduce complexity and to improve performance
Plan for Infrastructure Upgrades
Consider upgrading hardware if the PLM upgrade necessitates higher capacity or more advanced systems
