Partnership between CONTACT Software and UNITY

Through close collaboration, management consultancy UNITY and CONTACT Software will provide companies with comprehensive support for the digital transformation of their development processes.

Companies are facing the challenge of holistically digitalizing their product development processes. A common hurdle is the disconnect between strategic process consulting and the concrete implementation of suitable IT systems. The cooperation between UNITY and CONTACT Software bridges this gap, offering customers across various industries a complete, end-to-end digitalization of their development processes.

Each side brings its strengths to the table: CONTACT Software offers the modular technology platform CONTACT Elements to support such approaches and projects. It provides concrete IT tools and systematically embeds AI across applications. UNITY provides the essential process and methodological expertise and, with “Code the Product”, offers a consulting approach in which products – just like software – are developed digitally from start to finish. This collaborative approach enables the partners to develop and implement the best possible solutions for their customers.

“With CONTACT Software, we have a powerful partner by our side who supports us in operationalizing our ‘Code the Product’ approach with concrete software solutions,” explains Dr.-Ing. Jens Standke, Principal and Head of PLM & Digital Twin at UNITY. 

“We have already been collaborating with CONTACT Software for many years on behalf of clients from various industries, always with the shared goal of implementing an end-to-end process chain that delivers tangible added value to our customers,” adds Daniel Baldus, Principal at UNITY.

“We are looking forward to developing new approaches for future-oriented vehicle development together with UNITY, which also offer significant potential for other industries,” says Dr. Patrick Müller, Chief Customer Officer at CONTACT Software. “The path to software-defined products requires re-orchestrating PLM capabilities, particularly regarding system and supply chain management and their integration into continuous deployment and dynamic change processes.”
