KaaS KaaSKnowledge as a Service

SERVICES

Senior Windchill delivery, embedded in your team.

From implementation to migration to daily operation: we place mid-level to senior architects and engineers directly in your delivery team, without the delay of a traditional hiring process.

Who we work with

Organisations where PLM delivery is critical.

PLM integrators and implementation partners

When project demand exceeds internal capacity, we supply mid-level to senior Windchill engineers who work directly in your delivery team, without the lead time of a traditional hiring process.

Manufacturing and engineering companies

Organisations running Windchill in-house with an implementation, upgrade, migration or integration that needs more expertise than is available internally. We place architects and engineers directly in your delivery team so the work stays on schedule.

Consultancies with a Windchill skills gap

Large consultancies whose projects run into Windchill requirements outside their core expertise. KaaS supplies the depth your project needs, without disrupting your client relationship.

What we do

Senior Windchill delivery across the full lifecycle: fast to deploy, flexible in form, built for complex manufacturing environments.

Deploy & Build

Implementation

Windchill configured for how you actually engineer.

  • Production-ready configuration and go-live discipline
  • Risk removed before users touch the system
  • Governance built in from day one
CAD integration

Keeping authoring tools and Windchill in step.

  • Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD: cleanly connected
  • Reliable metadata and revision flow into the BOM
  • Fewer surprises and manual corrections at release
ERP integration

Connecting Windchill seamlessly to your ERP.

  • SAP and other major ERP platforms
  • Lifecycle-driven, reliable synchronisation
  • Architecture that scales with programme growth

Transform & Migrate

Migration

Moving off legacy PLM, without freezing engineering.

  • Teamcenter, file-based and other PDM sources
  • Structures, revisions and relationships mapped with care
  • Cutover plans that protect work in progress
Upgrade

Modern Windchill releases without losing momentum.

  • Version-to-version paths, tested for production
  • Compatibility and customisation addressed explicitly
  • Stability-first rollout for global teams

Operate & Scale

BOM management

One reliable product structure from design to build.

  • EBOM/MBOM and MPMLink where they fit your model
  • Clear rules for ownership and change
  • Less friction between engineering and operations
Change management

Governance teams adopt, not workarounds they route around.

  • PR, CR, CN and promotion paths that match how you actually work
  • Auditable outcomes for compliance-sensitive sectors
  • Aligned with how you release and manufacture
Staff augmentation

Senior capacity when hiring is too slow or too risky.

  • Architects and engineers embedded in your programme
  • Typically productive within weeks, not quarters
  • Scale up or down as the plan shifts

Frequently asked questions about Windchill PLM consulting

What does a Windchill consultant do?

A Windchill consultant helps organisations implement, configure and optimise PTC Windchill as their product lifecycle management platform. That covers solution architecture, ERP and CAD integrations, BOM management, change and lifecycle governance, data migration and ongoing support. KaaS places mid-level to senior consultants and engineers in delivery teams across the full project lifecycle, from initial architecture to post-go-live optimisation.

How quickly can you start?

We aim to start within four weeks. We maintain an active network of senior PLM and Windchill specialists and move at the pace of your project.

Which industries do you work in?

20 years of PLM consultancy. Clients in automotive, aerospace, defence, industrial machinery, energy and medical technology, including Volkswagen, Rolls-Royce, Thyssenkrupp and Philips. We've seen your challenge before, and know how to solve it.

Can you place a single specialist, or only work on larger programmes?

Both. We can place a single mid-level or senior specialist to fill a skills gap, or supply a broader delivery team for a larger programme. We structure engagements around what the project actually needs.

Do you work outside the Netherlands?

Yes, across Europe and on selected international work, in Dutch, German, English and French.

What's the difference between PLM consulting and PLM implementation?

PLM consulting covers strategy, architecture decisions, programme management and change management. PLM implementation is the hands-on technical work: configuration, integration, data migration and testing. KaaS covers both.
