xPLM Solution to Showcase the Certified Gold SAP Integration for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM at SolidWorks World 2012


Attendees to see demonstration of how they can support their engineering best practices with flexible deployment options using SAP and SolidWorks software

DRESDEN, GERMANY - xPLM Solution, specialized in providing integration solutions and deployment services to the PLM industry, today announced that it will demonstrate its newly SolidWorks Certified Gold product, SAP integration for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM®, at the SolidWorks World 2012 Conference, being held from February 12- 15, 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, USA. The 14th annual SolidWorks World Conference brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends, and the technology shaping the future of product design. Show attendees will see how xPLM's SAP integration and SolidWorks® software allows customers to bi-directionally exchange documents, CAD files, BOMs, parts (material masters), classification, item status and more, bridging the gap between engineering and manufacturing with efficient and automated data integration.

As a SolidWorks Service and Solution Partner, xPLM Solution offers SolidWorks users an effective and intuitive integration with their SAP ERP system. Data and structures of both SolidWorks Enterprise PDM and SAP ERP are integrated and kept synchronized. SolidWorks Enterprise PDM users do not need to access SAP ERP interfaces, but can perform all integration activities using the SolidWorks Enterprise PDM menus and forms, thus increasing user adoption and satisfaction. In addition, robust customization capabilities are provided outside the SAP environment yielding lower support and maintenance costs to best achieve and optimize specific customer integration requirements.

"We are excited about achieving Gold certification for our SAP Integration for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM already in use by many SolidWorks customers, said Karl "Charly" Wachtel, Managing Director of xPLM Solution. "We have been working with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM customers for more than 5 years now to support their needs for efficient and automated integration between SolidWorks and SAP ERP. Our customers have been able to better integrate their engineering and manufacturing operations, streamline the release to manufacturing process while at the same time improve product quality and customer satisfaction."

"Customers are demanding even more creativity and efficiency from manufacturers, requiring engineering and manufacturing operations to work better and closer than ever before," said DS SolidWorks Senior Alliances & Partnership Manager Nick Iwaskow. "xPLM Solution's SAP integration helps companies to efficiently and effectively integrate their SolidWorks engineering and SAP ERP manufacturing environments. Users can now directly from within the SolidWorks Enterprise PDM environment access SAP functionality and data as well as automate the transfer of SolidWorks and other engineering data with their SAP ERP manufacturing system. This will greatly speed the release to manufacturing process and ultimately the release of new innovative products to customers."
