Industry Outlook from IMAGINiT’s Carl Smith Over the past year, more and more of our clients are asking for a tighter integration between business systems that are used to manage workflows and processes among the varying levels of corporate structure. I expect that this trend will continue into 2019 as companies are pressured into much faster response times to improve time-to-market. Our clients often utilize Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for managing complex product information, engineering and manufacturing workflows, etc. They also manage the financial side of their business with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Much of the information within each system is overlapping and accuracy is critical to efficient decision making on issues ranging from new BOM items and how procurement will address them – all the way to new product launch initiatives.
Because of the vast number of options for both PLM and ERP systems, no one is really good at built-in integration with them, so we have addressed this issue with IMAGINiT Pulse, our SaaS-based business systems integration platform that enables organizations to integrate many different types of applications – independent of platform, programming language, or API. With IMAGINiT Pulse, datasets from business-critical information systems are exchanged and the data is kept consistent and safe. Tags: Industry Predictions |
