Find quick answers to our most frequently asked questions.
1. What does Forge Digital do?
Forge Digital helps companies implement and scale digital engineering using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. We provide software resale, solution architecture, implementation services, and long-term support across PLM, CAD, CAE, MBSE, and digital thread initiatives.
2. What industries does Forge Digital specialize in?
We focus on complex engineering industries where configuration, traceability, and simulation matter, including aerospace and defense, advanced energy, automotive suppliers, industrial machinery, and high-growth manufacturing startups.
3. What Siemens software does Forge Digital support?
We support the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Teamcenter, NX, Simcenter 3D, STAR-CCM+, HEEDS, Amesim, Capital, and Mendix. Our team specializes in connecting these tools into a working digital thread, not just deploying them individually.
4. How is Forge Digital different from other resellers?
Forge Digital is a founder-led digital engineering firm built by senior PLM leaders, architects, and delivery experts. We prioritize outcomes, architecture discipline, and long-term customer success over software transactions or staff augmentation.
We take ownership of the solution — not just the license.
5. Can Forge Digital help suppliers integrate with OEM PLM environments?
Yes. Many suppliers are required to use OEM-mandated tools like Teamcenter or NX to participate in design and manufacturing workflows. Forge Digital helps suppliers integrate with OEM PLM environments efficiently and with minimal disruption.
More importantly, we help suppliers go beyond compliance and actually generate business value from those tools — improving configuration management, collaboration, simulation workflows, and engineering productivity.
This turns a customer requirement into an operational advantage.
6. Do you only work with large enterprise companies?
No. We support organizations ranging from startups to large enterprises. Many early-stage companies work with Forge Digital to establish the right PLM and digital engineering foundation before scaling.
Starting correctly is far less expensive than fixing PLM later.
7. Can Forge Digital help migrate from other CAD or PLM systems?
Yes. We regularly help customers migrate from legacy CAD and PLM environments into Siemens solutions. This includes data migration, architecture planning, process redesign, and user adoption support.
Migration is both a technical and organizational exercise — we handle both.
8. Does Forge Digital provide implementation services or just software sales?
Both. Forge Digital provides software licensing, implementation services, architecture consulting, integration development, and ongoing support.
Most customers engage us as a long-term digital engineering partner.
9. How does Forge Digital approach PLM and digital thread implementations?
We start with architecture, governance, and business outcomes — not tools. From there, we deploy solutions incrementally to reduce risk and accelerate value realization.
PLM success comes from disciplined architecture and execution, not software installation.
10. What does a typical engagement with Forge Digital look like?
Most engagements begin with one of the following:
- Digital engineering strategy workshop
- PLM architecture assessment
- Teamcenter or NX implementation project
- Simulation workflow deployment
- Data migration initiative
From there, many customers transition into long-term support and optimization services.
11. How do we get started with Forge Digital?
The best way to start is a discovery conversation. We’ll discuss your engineering environment, business objectives, and current challenges, then recommend practical next steps.
Digital transformation succeeds when the first step is clear and achievable.
