OpenPDM CONNECT is the easiest way to connect two PLM systems. Thanks to a preconfigured set of functions for automatically synchronizing product data, the solution can be used practically from the word go.

OpenPDM CONNECT's basic functions not only allow individual parts, BOMs and documents to be exchanged between the connected PLM systems but also complex product structures, without any need for customizing. The versions and status of the metadata are automatically synchronized and logged.

The system administrator can use a browser-based user interface to monitor the background processes and if necessary easily control the process flows. If the preconfigured process flows and methods are not sufficient for dealing with the application scenario in question, the solution's extensible business logic allows them to be adapted to meet a customer's specific requirements.

OpenPDM CONNECT allows the following systems to be connected:

• CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (CATIA V6) with Windchill, Teamcenter or SAP
• DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE (DELMIA V6) with Windchill or Teamcenter
• SAP with Teamcenter, Windchill or 3DEXPERIENCE

If this list does not include the system pair you are looking for, please contact PROSTEP. OpenPDM CONNECT is subject to ongoing expansion.

The solution offers you the following features and benefits:

Integration of your business processes
OpenPDM CONNECT ensures the seamless integration of your PDM/PLM and ERP worlds by automatically synchronizing the BOMs (eBOMs and mBOMs) and their processing status.

Integrity of the data and reliability
The reliability of the solution and the automated processes guarantee smooth operation twenty-four hours a day and ensure end-to-end information flows.

Consistent data in different disciplines
OpenPDM CONNECT avoids time-consuming and error-prone data maintenance and thus ensures that consistent data is available to the different disciplines within a company.

Update capability thanks to official interfaces
OpenPDM uses the official interfaces of the PLM and ERP systems to be connected. This means that no system-specific adaptations are necessary when updating the PLM systems. 

Flexibility and investment protection
The solution's scalability and adaptability offer our customers a high level of flexibility. At the same time, OpenPDM CONNECT is subject to ongoing further development and thus guarantees the level of investment protection required forbusiness-critical processes.

Low implementation and operational overhead
Thanks to its preconfigured settings and functions, OpenPDM CONNECT can quickly be installed and used efficiently in existing PLM landscapes. This means that both investment and operating costs are comparatively low.
