With an PARTsolutions <-> ERP and PDM coupling, ERP and PDM remain ERP and PDM. PARTsolutions connects with both systems in a suitable way to improve the overall process. This simplifies engineering and procurement processes by merging the catalog/technology world with the ERP views without significantly affecting the usual PDM working methods.

In order to keep the overview of the IT / CAx environment, one fact must remain clear:

PARTsolutions represents a large standard, purchased and repeat parts market. Only a very small proportion of these will ever be found in PDM and ERP.
