The new EPLAN Platform includes a newly designed user interface, improved workflows and additional functions in connection with complementary cloud services. Overall, the new engineering software is characterized by its ease of use and high performance. This can be seen in the integrated ribbon bars, the Backstage View users may recognize from other established software solutions, and significantly improved user ergonomics. The new, more intuitive user interface takes its cues from common international user concepts, making it easy to get started with the software. The EPLAN developers also focused on workflows and designed the software to improve collaboration along the industrial value chain. One of the clear goals in developing the EPLAN Platform 2022 was optimizing data exchange between the individual stakeholders in EPLAN Platform. The added value of the new cloud based software solutions enables greatly improved cooperation between companies and their customers, partners and suppliers. The EPLAN Platform 2022 is exclusively available as a subscription, minimizing investment risk by way of low entry prices and more flexible planning possibilities for individual software use.
