Enovia vs. SAP Integrated Product Development

For Enigineering function, Enovia does well. However, their Project Management could be improved. We have found exporting to MSProject to work and then importing the updates is the best option. However, we would prefer to work directly in the Project Space in the future.

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)

• Issue tracking
• Approval flow (Routes)
• Change Management

• Provides lower-cost calculation
• This makes processes related to the product consistent, efficient, and simpler.
• It manages product development, support, and recycling projects effectively.
• It allows us to control the whole process.
• It allows us to see the future status of the products.

• When a part/assembly has been released in Enovia and gone for production or downstream processing, Enovia doesn't have much control, hence, Enovia should come up with an easy controlling mechanism for various disposition of parts and seamless communication with an ERP or downstream process.
• If a document is linked to thousands of materials then revising this document takes long time gets floated to the BOMs where the previous document versions are used. So, Enovia should have an efficient way to replace the floating process or another efficient mechanism for document revision processing.

• 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.

We may not renew as SAP Integrated Product Development tool don't match considering our line of business with limited product lines.

We just need to think about where we were back in the past and where we are at now! We used to have total chaos where everyone was working their own way. Now all involved groups work together as one team. This has increased the overall efficiency and the results are really astonishing!

Once implemented, it provides seamless integration between PLM and ERP systems.

i was not fully involved in implementation as most was carried out by external consultant.

When evaluating Enovia as a PLM product the following Enovia stacks came out as a positive feature compared to other PLMs available on the market. 1. User-friendly interface 2. Easy to Integrate with CAD systems for the manufacturing Industry 3. It is quite easy to implement the Interface with ERP/MRP system (like SAP, Oracle manufacturing) 4. Availability of 3rd party ENOVIA -SAP interface and easy to plug in between two systems

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.

• Easy learning curve for the users- Very user-friendly Interface for Engineering central make the users happy and easy to learn the BOM creation and Engineering change management process.
• Time-saving - Seamless Creation and revision process of objects saves a huge amount of time compared to other systems.
• Easy to copy existing business data and modify them as required.

Incentivized

• 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.
