5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product Summary Advantages - Summary: Process Integration instead of pure Data Exchange Cross-application Business Solution Transparent, for users non-visible interface Seamless integration in and usage of Best Practices Security of investment We are following the principle that product data is being created in the engineering department and will then be passed to following processes. The Change and Release Management Process takes the lead / governance over product structures / data, the integration automates the data transfer. The initial interface setup can be done with little configuration effort in Windchill and SAP as well as little training effort for users. A robust and slim architecture could be achieved by using standard data provisioning and posting / update functionality. Modular standard product Our customers will benefit from a modular extensibility with defined processes and functions. 2013 Mieschke Hofmann und Partner Gesellschaft für Management- und IT-Beratung mbh 43
