Implementing Windchill for the first time or upgrading to the latest version, our process minimizes disruption, secures your data, and helps your teams return to productivity faster.
Challenges in Windchill Upgrades and Installations We Solve
Organizations implementing Windchill upgrades or installations don’t always have the bandwidth or expertise to manage complex PLM environments. Common issues include:
- Unexpected downtime during upgrade or migration
- Data integrity risks from incomplete testing or configuration mismatches
- Version compatibility conflicts with CAD, ERP, or other systems
- Limited internal expertise to handle new environments or custom configurations
- Security and compliance gaps when environments aren’t validated properly
EAC eliminates these risks by combining decades of experience with structured processes that ensure accuracy, transparency, and repeatability.
The Benefits of Partnering with EAC:
Partnering with EAC for your Windchill upgrade or installation delivers lasting operational and business value. EAC will work collaboratively with your team, to reduce your risk, simplify the solution and remove selections that are no longer providing value.
