Implementation without an implementation project
Migration from Excel, Arena, Duro, Fusion Manage and OpenBOM runs on named extraction paths that are part of the product. Most teams complete it without buying services, which is the whole reason it was built that way.
The sandbox comes first
Every tenant gets a sandbox with the same object model as production and a promotion path between them. Configuration changes — object types, attributes, lifecycles, workflows, numbering — are made there, diffed against production, checked against real data for what they would cost, and promoted. Nothing about the model has to be right on day one, which removes the pressure that produces bad day-one decisions.
What migration actually involves
Field mapping, preview, validation, deduplication, error reporting and rollback, against a named extraction path per source system. The output is checked before it commits, the errors name rows rather than counts, and a run can be rolled back entirely. Item identity is matched against your ERP on the way in, so you do not import a parallel item master and then reconcile it afterwards.
What we do not do
There is no mandatory professional services engagement, no per-object migration fee, and no line item that appears after the contract is signed. Where you do want help it is a fixed-scope quote and it is optional. A PLM whose licence cost is a third of its true cost of adoption is a PLM whose pricing page is not telling you the truth.
