Business System Integration
Get Connected
One of the biggest challenges for businesses is to connect all of their multi-discipline distributed systems to one central location.
A PLM system must integrate with other systems, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Authoring and documentation tools, such as CAD, and existing Product Data Management (PDM) systems.
