CIM Database is CONTACT Software's flagship PLM system, covering document and CAD data management, part and BOM management, engineering change and configuration management, requirements, project management, and quality. All applications are built on the CONTACT Elements low-code platform, so customers can configure data models, forms, and workflows without modifying the core.
