Recognizing our expertise as leading automation specialists, we embarked on the automation journey to streamline the installation process of 3DEXPERIENCE, leveraging cutting-edge tools. Our primary goal was to optimize the team’s time allocation across diverse customer projects. In a short timeframe, we successfully developed a solution with the key objective of achieving a ‘Blind Installation’ paradigm for the on-premise deployment of the application. This initiative aligns with our commitment to efficiency, precision and customer satisfaction.
