PTC Flex PLM and Dynamics AX - Dynamics Duo

Ok, so I admit the title is a throw back to the early Batman shows / cartoons. With that said however, I believe it's a good fit.

What I am talking about here is PTC's Flex PLM Solution. It's their flagship Product Lifecycle Management package, and it integrates well with Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP software. I have actually integrated this before, creating BOM's in AX from the output of the PTC Flex PLM package.

What's interesting about me talking to these two great packages now, is that Sunrise Technologies, the great VAR I am a part of, is now focusing efforts to sale and implement PTC Flex PLM!



Check out the offical press release about it here.: Sunrise Technologies to Resell PTC’s Leading PLM Solution for Customers in Retail, Apparel, Footwear, and Consumer Goods

From the PR.:
"Winston Salem, North Carolina – Sunrise Technologies a leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics AX for manufacturing, distribution, and retail, announced today that it has joined the PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) Partner Program as a PTC Channel Advantage – Enterprise Solution Provider. Sunrise will resell and implement PTC’s FlexPLM® solution as part of the Windchill® PLM platform to customers in the retail, apparel, footwear, and consumer industries.

The integrated PTC FlexPLM solution can help address both industry-specific challenges and everyday business pressures. FlexPLM offers a high-performance, Web-based platform that brings together globally distributed teams and provides line planning, specification management, merchandizing, and other essential PLM capabilities for managing your company’s complete assortment of products. Sunrise Technologies’ deep knowledge of the retail, apparel, footwear, and consumer industries processes are complimented by the ability to now provide customers with a comprehensive PLM solution that enhances the value of their Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP solution."

And, from PTC about Sunrise.:
""We believe that customers who choose to use Sunrise Technologies in conjunction with PTC's FlexPLM solution will benefit from increases in overall product development efficiencies and as a result improve time-to-market, control costs and drive competitive differentiation" said Rod Walters, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Partner Program, PTC."

This, I believe, is a great move and I am glad to see we will be offering this as a product, and services around this product to Dynamics AX customers, and also standalone customers needed just PTC Flex PLM.

Flex PLM really is a great fit with Dynamics AX, and helps extends Dynamics AX investment for companies that need a true and proven product lifecycle management package, and it 100% integrated with AX!

Look here for more about this in the future, and check back soon as next week will be filled with more post, more interviews, and continued coverage of Dynamics Ecosystem!

NGC’s e-SPS product has a dominant position as the software of choice for apparel companies looking for advanced sourcing management. Their e-PLM product serves as a front-end to that product and provides specification development and PLM functions, tailored for apparel.

Product Management ( PDM / PLM ) with Dynamics AX

Would it not be very nice, if you could take an update complex product descriptions, maintain product specifications, along with images, and relations to other products, items, and underlying variants?

And then, have this all within Dynamics AX, maintained and viewed in that fashion --- Plus, have this web based and viewable by your intranet and public internet web site?

You can! And the answer is Dynamics AX + IEM from Sunrise Technologies, Inc.

With IEM for Dynamics AX, you can use a module called Product Center to manage catalogs of your different product lines and products. Have this all managed from within Dynamics AX, and made useful from within your normal ERP business processes. As well as, have this information viewable and accessable over the web to your current and possible customers. All maintained with Dynamics AX, in one place and viewable from multiple places.

For compaines that make advanced products, that have sometimes complex bom's, configuration processes, etc. this is the perfect match for allowing their Engineering and Customer Support staffs to mind-merge on products and product management.

And because this is within Dynamics AX, the full ERP can come into play, from Quote Management, to Project Management, to CAD Integration, through Sales Orders, MRP, Production Orders, delivery, and through to payment. All with a single integrated
platform, called Dynamics AX.
