Element Consulting is a product lifecycle management (PLM) and PTC Windchill implementation firm. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, we help manufacturers get PLM right — process and people first, technology second.
As PTC Windchill specialists, we connect PLM, ERP, MES, and CPQ into a single source of truth, so engineering, manufacturing, and IT work from the same data. Our work spans Windchill implementation, rescue, and optimization; upgrades and cloud / Windchill+ migration; MPMLink and the eBOM-to-mBOM transformation; digital thread and enterprise integration; and the organizational change management that determines whether any of it actually gets adopted.
We serve regulated, complex-product manufacturers in aerospace & defense, medical devices, automotive, industrial equipment, electronics, and life sciences — industries where a broken engineering-to-manufacturing handoff is expensive and non-negotiable.
Across 127 successful PLM implementations, one lesson has held: the real win is adoption, not a go-live date. That's why we staff engagements with senior, onshore, PTC-certified architects who stay accountable from kickoff through adoption — and why we lead with honesty over hype. We're the Enterprise Architecture Translators — the team that makes PLM stick.

Our Story
Element Consulting has helped manufacturers get PLM right since 2003 — process and people first, technology second. As PTC Windchill specialists, we connect PLM, ERP, MES, and CPQ into a single source of truth for aerospace & defense, medical device, automotive, and industrial teams. Across 127 successful implementations, we've learned the real win is adoption, not a go-live date. Honesty over hype — and senior onshore architects who stay accountable from kickoff through adoption.
What Sets Us Apart
Process & People First, Technology Second
Most PLM projects fail on adoption, not software. We start with how your teams actually work — then configure Windchill around the process. It's why our implementations stick after go-live instead of becoming expensive shelfware your engineers route around.127 Windchill Implementations Since 2003
We don't learn on your dime. Two decades of PTC Windchill work across aerospace & defense, medical device, automotive, and industrial manufacturing means we've already solved the edge cases your project will hit — from ITAR controls to digital thread and regulatory compliance.Senior Onshore Architects, Start to Finish
You get PTC-certified architects who stay accountable from kickoff through adoption — not a pre-sales expert who vanishes when the offshore team takes over. Many of us have sat in your chair as the customer, so we translate between engineering, IT, and the C-suite without the hype.Locations (1)
