Engineering Crossroads

Engineering Crossroads

Engineering and business should work together seamlessly. Yet in practice, CAD, PLM, and ERP often still operate in silos. As a result, engineering data, product information, and business processes are not always aligned, causing organizations to miss opportunities to improve efficiency, collaboration, and innovation.
 

During Engineering Crossroads, SAP, Cideon, and Delaware will show you the possibilities of an integrated engineering landscape. Discover how to connect engineering with ERP and explore the approach that best fits your organization's needs.

Cideon solutions and interfaces are SAP Clean Core certified. This certification confirms that our developments follow SAP best practices for extensions and integrations while keeping the SAP standard core unchanged.

As an SAP development partner, this certification underscores our commitment to delivering sustainable, standards-based, and upgrade-ready solutions that effectively support organizations on their journey toward a modern SAP landscape.

SAP Clean Core Zertifizierung Logo

In the complex SAP universe, it is not easy to keep track of everything. The large number of different modules, new functions, and revised processes make it difficult to find the right information at the right time and thus make the best decision for your company.

To simplify this, the SAP Partner Ambassador Program was established. The goal is to provide users around the world with up-to-date and important content related to SAP PLM. SAP collaborates closely with its partner network to achieve this. Now, Cideon is also part of it.

You can find all the latest news about SAP PLM, exciting insights from the community, and best practices from the partner network in the LinkedIn group “SAP Solutions for PLM”.

Cideon was honored with second place in the 'Customer Lifecycle' category at the 2025 'Best of Technology Awards' presented by WirtschaftsWoche magazine on August 27, 2025 - out of more than 110 innovations submitted!

We were awarded for our solution Cideon Sparify—a digital spare parts catalog that displays spare parts in an interactive 3D view, making it easy to select and place an order online. CAD models from popular systems—including metadata and documents—are intuitively visualized to revolutionize the ordering of spare parts for machines and plants.

We are proud of our team and would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment!

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.
