SAP and Hilti Bring Product Lifecycle Management to the Cloud

In a strategic co-innovation with Hilti AG, SAP SE has launched new cloud capabilities for its SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM) solutions. This initiative aims to help customers connect their business data to both engineering and research and development departments, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.

“Integration is critical for companies modernizing their manufacturing strategies and operational processes,” said Dominik Metzger, head of engineering for SAP Digital Supply Chain. “Collaborating with Hilti not only demonstrates their trust in our product lifecycle management solutions but also allows us to shape the future of cloud-native SAP PLM offerings.”

Key Takeaways:

Enhanced Connectivity: The new SAP PLM capabilities offer native connectivity with SAP cloud ERP and supply chain management solutions. This integration provides end-to-end visibility and control across the entire value chain, enabling businesses to deliver the right product at the right time and price.

Streamlined Processes: By linking product data with business processes, companies can efficiently organize product information, streamline workflows, and foster cross-functional collaboration. This improves the ability to meet market demands.

Centralized Repository: SAP PLM now includes a centralized repository for product data management, embedded directly into its portfolio. This single source of truth simplifies data organization, minimizes errors, and accelerates time to market by promoting effective teamwork across various stakeholders.
