ECTR full integration on the rise

System integrator Cideon is seeing a strong trend towards full CAD integrations with SAP ECTR in its projects. Without an interface between the classic worlds (commercial and technical IT), product lifecycle management (PLM) is fully integrated. There are several advantages for the user: Engineering processes and CAD applications can be optimally integrated into the value chain.

Cideon develops integrations to the CAD systems Inventor, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Solid Edge and Eplan on behalf of SAP. At the same time, the company is a project partner for the introduction of these solutions at user companies. The Engineering Control Center (ECTR) has been SAP's holistic standard integration platform since 2015 and has reached a mature stage of development.

The platform offers users a simple and intuitive user experience with drag-and-drop data handling, a Windows-like user interface, and search functions similar to major search engines. SAP ECTR is universally applicable, regardless of whether on-premises installations or cloud applications are deployed under S/4 Hana.

"It is not surprising that there is such a high demand for ECTR full integration. A trend is becoming increasingly clear." - Clemens Weis, CEO of Cideon
