SOA/Web Services

Benefits

End-to-end process coverage through secure connection of enterprise applications
Smooth cross-system data utilization
Fast and easy adaptability of IT architectures – even in heterogeneous IT landscapes

Realize end-to-end processes along the entire value chain

Use the challenges of digital transformation as an opportunity to realize a smooth interaction of your IT systems. Our Catalyst integration platform supports process coverage along the entire digital thread of value creation. Dedicated web service interfaces, REST applications, state-of-the-art IT protocols and adapters for connecting cloud and on-premise technologies are the foundation for the seamless integration of IT platforms. Building on this, standards ensure cross-system process synchronization and data consistency. Connect PLM and ERP backbones, CRM and ALM systems, collaboration portals or cloud-based services and IoT services with Catalyst.

Use cross-system data for enterprise applications

Catalyst makes application data available across systems and controls your processes: from status information and access control to the export/import of structures such as projects or engineering changes. You benefit from high data quality and automated processes.

Smooth processes in practice
For a product configurator, engineering data and sales information must be published on a portal; the designer wants to access CAD data from suppliers as well as master data from externally procured parts from the ERP system in the PLM system; after completion of the order, the production planning is automatically informed, bills of materials and design drawings are then already available; workloads for reports are available in controlling; the source code in the ALM system is available in the PLM system as Software-as-a-Part after release. Some example scenarios that show: Smooth, cross-system processes are the be-all and end-all of product development – this is what Catalyst stands for.

Combine development and manufacturing with certified standard interfaces

Certified and maintained standard interfaces, in particular to ERP systems such as SAP, IFS and PSIpenta, enable continuous data flow from design and development through to production and logistics. Bidirectional synchronization, direct access from PLM to ERP data and dialogues and a uniform user experience make cross-system handling simple and convenient. Nomen est omen: With deep integrations, prepared standard classes for material, bills of materials, documents and project data as well as simple adaptability for further attributes and classes, Catalyst makes your IT a catalyst for the value creation process.

Quickly implement adaptations in your IT landscape

Thanks to the openness of our technology and platform, you can integrate additional systems at any time and react quickly to new requirements. With its standard mechanisms for the exchange of information between IT systems, Catalyst enables you to quickly go live with adaptations and enhancements − even in heterogeneous IT landscapes. The mechanisms include the status-driven synchronization of database information, the temporary provision of information from third-party systems, and the processing of information in third-party systems through embedded user interfaces. You can also easily adapt and supplement the set of mechanisms.
