The new CONTACT Elements release
The new version supports specialists in development, manufacturing, and service even better in their complex tasks. Here, we present some of the innovations in CONTACT’s open low-code platform.
Leading the way to climate neutrality
Electrolyzers produce hydrogen from renewable energy and are a core technology for a green future. Sunfire, one of the global pioneers in this field, relies on CONTACT Elements for product development.
Product costs at the push of a button at MANN+HUMMEL
One of the world's leading filtration specialists relies on CONTACT Elements as the basis for his "Design to Cost" initiative. It enables MANN+HUMMEL to accelerate quotation processes, execute development projects faster, and manage them more efficiently.
CONTACT guide provides information on what is important in IT security
Companies need to digitize their business processes to remain competitive. However, digitization also increases the risk of cyberattacks. Find out what is important for a reliable security architecture in our white paper.

Project management – Execute complex projects agile and right on target
Demanding projects, for example in engineering, often miss their time and cost frame because planning and implementation diverge. Hybrid project management combines planning, control and execution hand in hand through the interplay of agile and classic processes. Our solution: Project Office powered by CONTACT Elements.
