Cideon and technotrans solutions GmbH can look back on a successful joint project: the thermal management specialist from North Rhine-Westphalia wanted to replace its outdated PDM and CAD systems with a high-performance alternative quickly and easily. The company opted for SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR), which convinced technotrans solutions with its speed, significantly more functions and improved usability.

Cideon supported technotrans solutions significantly in this project and was responsible for the implementation of SAP ECTR including integration into the existing SAP system landscape, customizing, data migration and key user training. Thanks to SAP ECTR, technotrans solutions can now integrate all engineering data into SAP PLM and connect it with relevant business data. In addition, the introduction of SAP ECTR has significantly reduced the number of previous system interfaces. This has made an important contribution to the efficient harmonization of the data-based system landscape within the entire technotrans Group.

To find out more about this project, please read the recently published reference report.

The Cideon interface apps SAP ECTR interface to Inventor and Cideon Vault Professional Integration to SAP PLM have again received the Autodesk certification Autodesk Certified App. The applications developed as part of the Autodesk Certified App program meet the guidelines specified by Autodesk in order to achieve the best possible combination of Autodesk software and developer applications. Quality, interoperability and compatibility with the selected Autodesk software were among the factors taken into account for certification.

Rolf Lisse took over responsibility for the management of system integrator Cideon on July 1, 2022. The 50-year-old has held various management positions at Cideon since 2007. In close coordination with Sebastian Seitz, CEO of Eplan and Cideon, he will position the company more broadly along its solutions in CAD, PDM and SAP integration.
