Centric PLM vs. SAP Integrated Product Development

Pros: Global collaboration and cloud based solutions in once place. As this suits the environment we are in with more presence in different countries. Cons: Its difficult in for integrations to third party tools and also not recommended when implemented smaller levels (like single country or product line based)

• Provides lower-cost calculation
• This makes processes related to the product consistent, efficient, and simpler.

• The interface is that of your typical SAP program, it's not very user friendly to a person who doesn't use it every single day.
• Some simple Windows commands do not work in SAP PLM, such as a copy and paste.
• Right click menus generally produce unconventional results if the user is more familiar with Windows right click menus.

Unified ecosystem with existing SAP ERP clients, which is the major advantage for us. Also backend support from BTP integration for technical reporting, which indeed uses HANA database and improves performance. Plus point of being to be integrated inside SAP Integration suite with other third party software as well.

• Accurately able to order raw materials which are necessary for the current production run, thus reducing overhead.
• The negative impact would be the initial cost of the software and how long it would take to ROI that cost.
• It has allowed us to control batches of product creation much more closer and have the ability to cut some erroneous costs which were found in large batches.
