When your PLM lives only in a vendor’s cloud, an outage, a price hike, or a sale of that vendor is an outage of your product history. The drawings, the revisions, the approvals — they are rented. Thirteen suites with thirteen cloud accounts does not make that safer; it multiplies the single points of failure.
In N23D, the vault is local-first. It runs where you put it. Entra signs people in when you want enterprise identity; it does not host your parts. One native Rust binary covers CAD through invoice — PLM, MES, QMS, ERP and the rest — on the same part identity, with a permanent license.
One platform. Full digital thread. If your design history disappears when a vendor’s status page goes red, you never owned the vault.
