Hello,

Comparing SAP-PLM with Teamcenter (main competitor to SAP) the major thing in Teamcenter is data exchange between two sites. The collaboration of data betwen two/multi sites with transfer of ownership is major feature not suitably available in sap.

It is extremely easy to send data - i. e. your item data alongwith assemblies to another site/s with ownership, in SAP there is feature of transfer between two content servers by using transports which is not so easy for any average sap user however in teamcenter any user with simple command can do this.

There are other features available in sap which are better than Teamcenter.

Here below my 2 Cents of comparison between conventional PDM tools & SAP

Though conventional tools are called PLM, it's not exactly true PLM tools. Conventional tools require sea change to be called as PLM tools. Here are the reasons.

The true Product Lifecycle Management is nothing but, software tool which can facilitate integrations between all stakeholders (such as Product company, Suppliers, Customers etc.) within and outside the enterprise from product concept to obsolete stage.

Most of the Conventional PLM tools serve the integrations within few departments of the enterprise, such as Design & Manufacturing.

As for as SAP PLM is concern it provides the integration between all the departments, but it will not have any tight integration between CAX tools.

If SAP bridge the above gap with tight integration with Team Center Engineering, then SAP can fly.

I hope I have provided the info. rather than confusion.

Hi Sridhar..

I am replying to one of your old thread. In your message you mentioned that SAP PLM is not good at CAXX integration. Is it CAD integration

Please help me to understand in which functionalites, SAP PLM can not be integrated as other PLM software does?

Do you have any dos specifiying list of functionalities possible with sap plm and limitations of sap plm....

do you have any customer case study where u come across...

Currently we are evaluating using sap plm or pdmlink, where our concern was cad integration.

your inputs will highly help us in taking decission on this, which is due by next monday
