| SAP PLM in ERP |
| |
SAP PLM has since long been an integral part of SAP’s integrated ERP Suite. Grown from its roots in managing master data, today it supports a wide variety of processes and thus forms the heart of an integrated product development process. It’s capabilities range from managing product data like documents, BOMs and recipes to managing engineering change processes and it also offers a comprehensive project management solution.
The differentiating strength of the PLM solution within ERP roots in its deep integration with other corporate key functions. The PLM solution e.g. integrates product engineering with Sales and Manufacturing, Product Management with Financials and Human Capital Management.
The SAP PLM functionality within ERP offers support for a wide range of industries, including both discrete and process manufacturing industries, consumer products as well as asset intense industries. Although SAP PLM is an integral part of the ERP suite, the solution can be deployed as a separate PLM System without losing the advantages of a deep integration into the ERP system.

| Business Challenge |
| |
Today’s consumers across different industries demand ever new and innovative products delivered to the market in short cycles at a competitive price. Manufacturers are urged to keep development cycles short and contain the cost of developing new products. On the other hand side, product complexity is rising and products are being developed in networks that span across company borders. The focus therefore needs to be on development efficiency as well as on product compliance. Resources – both financial and labour – need to be spent wisely while protecting corporate Intellectual property.
