The extended product development environment does not exist in isolation but has to interact with other upstream and downstream enterprise systems.
Clients partner with ITC Infotech to consolidate product information across the enterprise through a seamless integration between PLM and ERP systems. We have worked with clients to integrate their product development ecosystems in a progressive manner starting with CAD, ERP, MES and moving on to other systems like QMS, CRM and SCM.
Delivering Results
Manufacturers are increasingly looking for real-time collaboration across value chains within an integrated design environment to improve reuse, streamline design release process and leverage product information for business decisions.
ITC Infotech enables seamless interactions of extended PLM applications with CAD and other enterprise systems by leveraging strong cross-domain expertise on various ERP, CRM, supply chain planning and optimizations and manufacturing execution systems (MES).
We have enabled successful integration using various protocols like SOAP, HTTP and FTP, and middleware like TIBCO, ESI logic and Microsoft BizTalk among others.
