OpenText Extended ECM for PLM - Aras Innovator Integration with OpenText Extended ECM

The vdR Group is the provider of OpenText’s Extended ECM for PLM. Extended ECM for PLM seamlessly and transparently connects leading product lifecycle management (PLM) and product data management (PDM) platforms with OpenText Extended ECM and ultimately helps manufacturers and engineering organizations break down barriers between product information and the enterprise.

With OpenText Extended ECM serving as the “system of engagement,” users throughout the enterprise are now able to quickly and securely access and collaborate with released part/product data and related files including CAD viewables that are essential to downstream activities such as procurement, inspection, quality, manufacturing, and support.

Key features of the integration include automatically transferring released part/product data and files from PLM to OpenText, initiating a problem report (PR) or investigation request (IR) in OpenText that in turn automatically activates a corresponding PR/IR in PLM, and providing real time visibility into PLM from within OpenText. Supported PLM/PDM solutions include Aras, Autodesk Vault, Bentley’s ProjectWise, Enovia, Teamcenter, and Windchill.
