CONTACT Software was founded in 1990 by Karl Heinz Zachries. His objectives from those early days remain our objectives of today: making complex product data more accessible and connecting employees across technical and organizational boundaries.
Pioneering spirit

CONTACT is a pioneer of innovative operating concepts and, with CIM Database, has set standards for a new generation of PDM/PLM systems. Of AgileRules, a methodology for development projects that allows objectives to be achieved more reliably. And of CONTACT Workspaces for more efficient collaboration between teams and companies.

DNA
This pioneering spirit, our independence and open technologies form the very DNA of our company. These roots, together with deeply committed employees, customers and partners, have made CONTACT the world's leading independent vendor of standard software for the product engineering process and its digital transformation.

We connect people, teams and companies
Our mission: Energizing great minds, Instead of rigid systems, we create a working world in which employees can concentrate their skills on providing better products and services. Where collaboration runs more smoothly, processes become more efficient and routine work becomes easier. And where a guiding framework provides both the security and freedom that allows agile interaction between individuals and teams in complex projects.
