T-Systems Receives Software Award From SolidWorks; Award for Interface Between CAD and PLM Programs
The SolidWorks Corporation has granted an award to T-Systems for the design of an interface between the CAD program SolidWorks and mySAPT PLM. Over 2,000 licenses of the "SolidWorks Certified Gold Product" are currently in use by around 100 customers worldwide. T-Systems is an important partner for SAP in the development and maintenance of this interface to the ERP vendor's system. SAP has been selling the add-on product to mySAP PLM worldwide since 2001.
CAD integration by T-Systems is mainly used by customers in the engineering of machines and industrial plants, but it is also applied in the area of medical technology. The interface between SolidWorks and mySAP PLM integrates the business processes of development and design engineering into Product Lifecycle Management. This solution is particularly beneficial to design engineers who work together on components at distributed locations worldwide. This allows these complex development projects to be precisely and reliably implemented.
Since the end of the '90s, T-Systems has been developing and maintaining integration products between the ERP/PLM system from SAP and CAD programs from other leading producers such as SolidWorks, SolidEdge and MicroStation. The PLM specialists had initially brought these standard interfaces to the market for the development of special vehicles. Through ongoing further development these are now also in demand in mechanical engineering, the electronics industry and in medical technology.
