Project management with PLM and industry focus
Engineering projects are interdisciplinary, tightly scheduled and technically challenging. This complexity requires project management software that provides teams across disciplines with consistent product data as well as full integration into industrial application contexts such as PLM or industry solutions. The software improves collaboration in global project and program organizations and is easily adaptable and expandable thanks to the open Elements platform. It links all technical, scheduling and organizational information and combines agile teamwork with classic project planning.

Why Choose Project Office?
Deliver engineering projects faster with integrated planning, execution, and controlling capabilities.
Faster Delivery
Realise development projects faster through improved coordination
Cost Efficiency
More cost-efficient project execution with better resource utilisation
Quality Assurance
Quality gates ensure standards are met at every stage
Flexible Methods
Adapt methodology to match project requirements
Standardized infrastructure for project and product data
Project Office creates a unified project landscape with standardized tools and information. Your teams use a shared infrastructure including multi- project and program support, integrated document management, and a differentiated roles and rights system. Access to product data in the project context is a conceptual cornerstone of Project Office. The immediate availability of work objects such as checklists, drawings, or CAD models ensures transparency and a focus on results.
Clear planning and efficient
implementation
With Project Office, you can plan and coordinate tasks across numerous projects. Project leaders define a clear project structure of tasks, assign these to project roles and develop the process and schedule planning from this. You manage detailed tasks over the entire duration of the project as open points and measures in the context of the project tasks. This efficient task management allows you to keep project structures lean and still manage all details accurately. Project members automatically see their tasks in their personal cockpit and have direct access to CAD models, documents, and information.

What is CONTACT Project Office?
Project Office is a project management software based on the open CONTACT Elements platform. Industrial companies use it to optimize collaboration in global project and program organizations. The system links technical, scheduling, and organizational information in a single source of truth. Agile teamwork and traditional project planning can be flexibly combined. Your result: faster, more cost-efficient development projects.
What distinguishes Project Office from other tools?
Unlike project management solutions without an industry focus, Project Office integrates with the existing system landscape of departments and partners involved in engineering projects. This facilitates the coordination and monitoring of tasks, taking into account customer requirements. Planning, control, and monitoring work hand-in-hand with operational value creation. Because project artifacts such as checklists, drawings, and CAD models are immediately accessible, companies enhance transparency and results orientation in their projects.
Is it possible to integrate Project office into existing IT landscape?
Project Office is based on our CONTACT Elements integration platform. It uses open standards such as HTML5, REST, or Python and enables the seamless synchronisation of third-party systems via powerful interfaces - whether from your own IT landscape or from suppliers. This allows you to design consistent information flows in projects across system and application boundaries.
Is Project Office available via the cloud?
Project Office can be used both as an on-premise installation and in the cloud (SaaS & PaaS). Our cloud solutions offer flexibility and high security. Your company saves on the effort of maintaining and updating the software and can incrementally expand the platform with functionalities from the PLM and IoT ecosystem as required. You always retain control over time and costs.
