When investing in a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution, one of your main concerns is that critical product information flows seamlessly to and from your other enterprise systems. Historically, integration solutions have required error-prone manual processes or fragile custom point-to-point integrations, resulting in significant cost and product quality issues.

Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration (ESI) synchronizes processes and information. With Windchill ESI’s bi-directional integration, your PLM system can share the engineering bill of material (BOM) and your ERP system can share the part cost and inventory. Enabling you to optimize processes throughout your company while minimizing risk and total cost of ownership.

So you can be confident that all the people in the enterprise are operating with the most current information, and in the right context, to make the best decisions.

Offered as a module of Windchill PDMLink, Windchill ESI makes it easy for companies to share engineering data throughout the enterprise.
