Easy collaboration thanks to SAP ECTR and SAP Integrated Product Development
In the context of complex projects, collaborating with partners and assigning individual development steps to third parties is common practice. For a holistic approach to product development, these parties often need access to their client’s PLM system – which is still a major challenge for many companies these days.
With SAP Integrated Product Development, SAP offers a cloud platform enabling the creation of defined areas for collaboration. This way, all internal and external parties involved in the PLM process have role-based access to their respective data. The connection of SAP Engineering Control Center | SAP ECTR to this capability of SAP Integrated Product Development enables users to collaborate securely and seamlessly with structured and unstructured product data.
