Faster Time-to-Value

Product lifecycle activities involve a wide spectrum of applications that typically include CAD, PLM, EIM, ERP, and MES.  Nexus has anticipated their operational characteristics, infrastructure conditions, and access considerations to aide in significantly accelerating integration deployments.

Lower Cost of Ownership

By leveraging off-the-shelf, industry standard REST application programming interface (API) conventions, organizations are able to adjust quickly yet remain resilient to the inevitable downstream changes in technology trends and business climates.

 

How Does It Work?

Nexus helps establish a digital thread across the disparate applications that support your entire product lifecycle. Nexus’ unique approach allows for connectivity solutions that are non-disruptive and quick to deploy, while at the same time providing best in class functionality, incredible flexibility, and high value.

Ready-to-use Transaction Templates

Nexus has an ever-growing library of Application Connectors that are preconfigured to seamlessly interact with other connectors, resulting in an integration. Learn more about the distinction between Nexus Application Connectors and Integrations here or explore the available application connectors.

Nexus’ workflow framework orchestrates the exchange and transfer of data ranging from parts and BOMS to documents and drawings - and everything in between. The framework allows for truly intelligent integrations with logic, routings, and triggers. This supports configurable transaction templates and endless automation opportunities.

To accelerate time-to-value and minimize customization, Nexus provides preconfigured transaction templates to support common scenarios such as part/assembly releases, document releases, metadata federation or change activation. Templates can be combined, customized, or created.

Monitoring and Visibility

Nexus has been architected to recognize the reality of varying IT strategies and policies.  Whether the applications to be connected operate on-premise or in the cloud, Nexus can be configured to operate securely in all possible configurations.

The very nature of product data is that BOM structures and associated files can consume significant bandwidth.  Nexus supports both asynchronous and synchronous data exchange capabilities to enhance the user experience.  Modes of operation are configurable in the transaction templates. 

Nexus supports a full range of monitoring processes.  This includes transaction logs, error recovery sequences and messaging.  Each of these are configurable, can trigger custom processes and activate messaging to individuals and/or other services.
