PL1876I - CPQ, Engineering Configurators, Windchill Options & Variants Best Practices

Custom-tailored products are becoming more and more prevalent and many product development companies are looking for ways to efficiently deliver these types of products to their customers. The way companies configure and integrate the various software systems needed to support the definition, management, and order fulfillment for these products can have a dramatic impact on efficiency. Hence, systems like CPQ, PLM, CAD, and ERP must be properly configured and integrated to enable efficient processes. In this IgniteTalX we will share some of our experiences and best practices for using PLM to manage these types of products as well as how Windchill can be integrated into CPQ and ERP systems.
