msg systems ag and ID-Consult integrate METUS®-Software and SAP PLM

A fast market introduction of products requires a close fit between concept phase and product development. The integration of ID-Consult’s innovative software METUS® and SAP PLM (SAP iPPE) closes this gap to further improve especially the development of complex products and product platforms.

The interface was developed in partnership with msg systems ag in Ismaning. With this integration product data can be exchanged between SAP PLM an METUS®. Product architectures visualized and optimized with METUS® can be enriched with requirements, functions, planned modules, costs and supplier information. The defined architectures can then be administrated in SAP PLM directly.
