Teamcenter Integration for SAP S/4HANA (S4S) is the powerful standard solution for efficient and seamless integration of Teamcenter by Siemens Industry Software with SAP S/4HANA by SAP. S4S bundles existing well-known “Teamcenter Gateway for SAP” (leveraging Netweaver RFC communication) used by 600+ customers with the jointly developed “Teamcenter Gateway for PLM system integration by SAP” (T4ST, using PLMSI communication layer) by Siemens and SAP. Please note that this is not an either/or decision. You can use both technologies in a side-by-side approach as well.
Teamcenter Integration for SAP S/4HANA provides you with:
- An intuitive and highly flexible way to integrate engineering and manufacturing data and processes managed in Teamcenter with product information and enterprise processes controlled by SAP S/4HANA.
- A working environment that enables you to display, create and change all relevant PLM & ERP data applying business rules and attribute mapping without having to leave the Teamcenter regardless of where data resides.
- Full synchronous and asynchronous process integration by executing and linking workflows and picking up business events.
- All flexibility to make your own choice regarding used integration technology and how to design your end-to-end business processes levering best in breadth capabilities of Teamcenter and SAP.
- The ability to leverage recommended practices of Siemens and SAP experts by using pre-configured end-to-end process templates for change management, configuration management, vendor management, product and manufacturing engineering.
Processes become transparent as e.g., engineering changes or product releases are no longer confined by system boundaries. You can start and end processes in Teamcenter or SAP S/4HANA, wherever it makes sense for you.
Bundling all existing integration technologies (Netweaver RFC and SAP PLMSI based) in one and the same Siemens product gives you the freedom to focus on future proven process optimization and solution design without being faced with technical limitations.
You can start now leveraging full functionality on day 1. Define your way, be it more PLM or more ERP-centric. And you can do it at your own pace by using prescriptive templates or leveraging built-in flexibility. Existing customers can take advantage from new capabilities of jointly developed integration without changing running integration completely by implementing a side-by-side approach.
