Enterprise Interoperability

Exchange product information across different PLM systems

In today’s world of global manufacturing, product development teams need to exchange information with multiple groups, including external partners and internal teams. Yet, each different organization will often use its own PLM system. Friction and miscommunication may arise when one group imposes software usage requirements on the other, or when both organizations opt for a “shortcut,” and work outside the context of a data-managed environment.

Windchill Info*Engine provides a flexible, standards-based foundation for seamless data sharing between enterprise applications and user communities. Now it’s easy to share product data – in real time or asynchronously – with other enterprise applications to improve the speed, efficiency and quality of product development.

Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration (ESI) provides a powerful, automated solution that synchronizes processes and information, enabling optimization of product development while minimizing risk and total cost of ownership. And, with its bi-directional integration, Windchill ESI enables a robust connection between PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and ERP systems.
