SAP and Siemens have this year agreed to work closely together on software solutions for "Product Lifecycle Management", "Supply Chain Management" and "Asset Management". In this connection, one main focus is on the development of an integrated solution for all industrial customers. The management and IT consulting company MHP is in long-term partnerships with SAP and Siemens Industry, and acts as a trusted advisor and strategy and implementation expert in both worlds. Thanks to the bundled know-how in both solution worlds, the result is strategic added value for companies: MHP provides them with end-to-end consulting extending across the entire product portfolios of SAP and Siemens.
3-partner alliance more than just integration and interfaces
Gianni Di Loreto, Associated Partner in the field of Digital Engineering Solutions at MHP: "Thanks to the partnership with SAP and Siemens, many things will be easier. Until now, those responsible in the company had to deal with two completely different and separate software worlds. One concrete challenge is the technological link between the PLM and the ERP system. As a rule, for this purpose interfaces of third-party providers were used. All this now no longer applies." However, this is about much more than technological integration. SAP and Siemens want to push on with the digital transformation, break down the barriers between the development departments and the other departments, and thus make processes possible that are ultimately more effective and efficient. Specifically, with the integrated and consistent solution, virtual models and simulations of a product can be linked with each other across the entire lifecycle with real-time business data, performance data and feedback. Within the framework of the partnership, on the one side SAP now markets the Siemens team center software. On the other side, Siemens includes SAP Intelligent Asset Management (SAP IAM) and SAP Project and Portfolio Management (SAP PPM) in its own program.
Gianni Di Loreto: "We have comprehensive know-how for the technologies of SAP and Siemens. Our knowledge of the processes and challenges in development and in the commercial context is excellent and we have fully mastered the complexity of the relevant methods, systems and interfaces. This makes us an ideal partner for setting up future-proof and efficient PLM-ERP environments end2end."
