Our Research Department is happy to show you a technology demonstration that closes the business data exchange gap between the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. They both keep data about the same physical BOM structures but of a different type: PLM—engineering and manufacturing while ERP—commercial.

PLM ERP Integration is a technology demonstration of bidirectional data exchange between the PTC Windchill® PLM solution with the Microsoft Dynamics™ ERP software via the PTC ThingWorx® IoT platform.
