The product lifecycle management (PLM) process is extremely complex, often relying on multiple third-party applications to gather, store and track project and process details. Sopheon’s software solutions can integrate with a complete range of solutions and tools to aggregate product innovation data into one central repository, helping to ensure that the right new products get to market cost-effectively and on time.
Sopheon offers a robust, well-documented API that has been used by many customers to seamlessly integrate our solutions with other enterprise applications, including:
- ERP Planning Systems. Increase the accuracy of cost, sales revenue, volume and resource requirement forecasting for planned projects by incorporating up-to-date sales and cost data directly into the product innovation process. Sopheon’s solutions have been successfully integrated with a variety of ERP systems, including SAP® FI/CO and PS Systems, Oracle® Financials Centralized Solution Set, and Infor® ERP XA.
- Document Management / Collaboration Systems. Create greater project transparency and accountability for global development teams and senior executives by centralizing detailed project histories and other product innovation data. Improve and expedite decision-making by linking to the most current versions of technical documentation authored in document management applications such as Lotus Notes® and Livelink® ECM.
- Time-tracking Systems. Allocate resources and make adjustments to precisely match changing project requirements and priorities by connecting Sopheon’s solutions to time-tracking systems such as Replicon Web TimeSheet® or Journyx Timesheet™.
- Product Data / Formula Management Systems. Encourage cross-functional collaboration and communication between business and technical professionals throughout the innovation process. Integrating Sopheon’s solutions with product data management systems such as Windchill®, Teamcenter® and Enovia® brings together portfolio data and engineering deliverables to inform project decisions and synchronize development activity with strategic priorities. Similarly, integration with commercial formula or ingredient management solutions such as Infor PLM Optiva® or comparable homegrown systems helps to ensure that new formulas are aligned with project and product requirements.
- Project Management Tools. Support detailed project scheduling and other kinds of advanced project management work with out-of-the-box integration between Sopheon’s solutions and the latest Microsoft® project management tools. Integration-enabled dashboards and monitoring capabilities track product development initiatives and make it easier to access and share information related to project tasks.
