PLM and CAD software integration for manufacturing and design
DataSolid is a 20-year-old, financially independent German software firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) solutions. The company is actively migrating its infrastructure away from VMware toward Proxmox while simultaneously transitioning client environments to Teamcenter — a shift that reflects both internal modernization and a strategic pivot in consulting services. Engineering-heavy hiring (7 open engineering roles against 2 sales roles) indicates the company is scaling implementation capacity rather than just expanding sales.
DataSolid develops and delivers PLM and CAD software solutions for mid-market manufacturers and engineering firms across Germany. The firm operates as a certified Dassault Systèmes partner, building custom implementations on top of ENOVIA V6 and ENOVIA SmarTeam. The company also owns and distributes CADdy++, a proprietary 2D/3D CAD suite with over 100,000 installations worldwide, and has extended its portfolio into event planning software for spatial layout and seating design. Day-to-day work involves data migration, process optimization, CAD standardization, and integration of PLM systems with manufacturing workflows.
