SAP-integrated product development

Karlsruhe, October 10, 2023 – With ++projectSystem, Milliarum and DSC Software AG provide a solution for the management of product data in SAP that combines SAP Project System | SAP PS with SAP Engineering Control Center | SAP ECTR. The tool for efficient project management brings together, on one platform, all data, documents, and persons involved in product development. This eliminates redundant data management, shortens release cycles, and shows the project progress in a transparent and traceable way at any time.

++projectSystem was developed based on a joint customer project. On the basis of SAP PS in SAP ECTR, the solution was designed to map a detailed project plan with all tasks from design to manufacturing and quality assurance. “++projectSystem transfers the world of SAP project management to the world of SAP ECTR users,” explains Richard Becker, Consultant Customer and Partner at DSC Software AG. With the worklist, the solution brings both worlds together in an SAP ECTR operation. It allows documents from design solutions, such as Siemens NX and AutoCAD, to be linked with other authoring systems, such as MS Word or Excel, and all steps of the plan to be documented. This way, the project progress, created documents, and sequences of operations are always traceable for everyone involved. “With ++projectSystem, users can participate in the project from their familiar work environment, and everything comes together in SAP and is linked,” says Harald Schmitz, CEO of Milliarum.

In ++projectSystem, Milliarum combines their expert knowledge in SAP PS with the SAP ECTR expertise of DSC Software AG. This out-of-the-box solution allows a quick implementation thanks to its high degree of maturity. Its intuitive UI is easy to use without any user training. “The collaboration is more than an extended workbench, which also illustrated by the joint, solution-oriented customer service,” describes Markus Voigt, Senior Consultant at DSC Software AG. At the same time, ++projectSystem is developed continuously, according to new SAP releases. And also a continuation of the successful collaboration is currently being planned with the introduction of ++PPM. At the moment, pilot customers are wanted for first customer shipment.
