SAP ECTR Interface

SAP Engineering Control Center | SAP ECTR enables all engineering data to be integrated into SAP PLM and linked with business data. This is a basis to optimally support engineering processes and to directly integrate subsequent processes in SAP.

SAP Engineering Control Center

SAP ECTR (SAP Engineering Control Center) integration for efficient product development with CAD and PDM / PLM data.

SAP PLM provides company-wide change management without system discontinuities, enabling process efficiency and costs to be improved for the long term. Developed by CIDEON, SAP PLM CAD Direct Integrations make an additional external PDM system unnecessary as a starting point for PLM processes. Benefits to you: 

  • No redundant data storage of document and material information
  • Consistent BOM systems and transfers to all processes
  • Linking of CAD relevant data to any commercial processes
  • Direct data accessibility in one system without the need for interfaces
  • Consistent change management assured

Make the most of the benefits and experience CIDEON products for yourself!
