What is PLM system integration?
PLM system integration enables interoperation between SAP and external PLM systems to enable efficient product data flows and ease collaboration.
Overview
Connect data in a single product master
Collaborate on engineering bill of materials (BOMs) with geometric data and configuration, tightly integrated and pervasive across system borders.
Maintain transparency in change management
Manage the impact of change on program plans, manufacturing BOMs, and service BOMs by providing visibility to all stakeholders.
Integrate market-leading ERP systems with PLM systems
Manage complex product configurations for downstream processes where data is in use—such as manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics departments.
