ERP und PLM erfolgreich integriert – Die Voraussetzung zur Entfaltung eines echten CTO+

High-variance products at the prices and delivery times of standard products – CTO+ is the process pattern of the future. It must be our mission to help our industry achieve this. This applies to all of us in the PLM and ERP community. I was very pleased to be able to discuss these topics with top experts from Siemens. Questions included: What happens when ERP and PLM are truly integrated? What role does CTO+ play in resilient supply chains? And why is AI not just a nice-to-have, but a prerequisite for data quality? A real deep dive and a great discussion with Dr.-Ing. Chantal Sinnwell and Udo Buschbeck. A conversation about the strategic levers of industrial transformation – beyond standard rhetoric and superficiality. 🧠 Here are the topics we discussed in detail: ▪️ Digitalization as a leadership task in corporate development ▪️ Configure-to-Order Plus (CTO+): the key to scalability ▪️ Deep integration of ERP and PLM – the foundation for supply chain orchestration ▪️ Siemens Active Integration – much more than a technical add-on ▪️ And what role does AI play as a structural building block for data consistency and knowledge logistics?
