Pre-built connectors to speed up integration deployment
Integrate 3DEXPERIENCE and SAP
Ensure and secure the digital process and data continuity with the 3DEXPERIENCE SAP Connector. Allow enterprise teams to collaborate seamlessly on information sharing, while continuing to use best-of-breed platforms for PLM and ERP. Enhance cross-functional processes with secured and synchronized master data. As development processes evolve over time, the connector has built-in flexibility to change data and process mappings on the fly, to meet new business requirements with the smallest delay possible.
Integrate 3DEXPERIENCE to MS Dynamics 365 (Finance & Operations)
Ensure and secure the digital process and data continuity with the D365 FO Connector. Allow enterprise teams to collaborate seamlessly on information sharing, while continuing to use best-of-breed platforms for PLM and ERP. Enhance cross-functional processes with secured and synchronized master data. As development processes evolve over time, the connector has built-in flexibility to change data and process mappings on the fly, to meet new business requirements with the smallest delay possible.
When deploying the D365 FO Connector, you can rest assured that the software and configurations are developed according the standards and recommendations given by both Dassault Systèmes and Microsoft. The deployment process follows a structured approach, starting with identifying business objectives and assessing IT infrastructure. It then moves through project definition, system setup, and quality testing to ensure seamless integration. After go-live, performance tuning, documentation, and administrator training are completed, followed by ongoing rollout support and issue management for a smooth transition.
Integrate 3DEXPERIENCE to MS Dynamics 365 (Business Central)
The D365 BC Connector is tailored for organizations using Dynamics 365 Business Central. While it shares many of the same features as the FO connector, such as real-time synchronization, cloud compatibility, and secure data transfer, it is optimized for smaller to mid-sized businesses that require a more lightweight ERP solution. Like the FO connector, it enhances operational efficiency by reducing manual data entry and fostering real-time collaboration across departments.

What to consider when selecting a system integrations solution
Selecting the right system integration software is crucial for ensuring that your enterprise systems work harmoniously.
When choosing an integration solution, consider its compatibility with your existing systems and its ability to support future scalability. The software should offer robust connectors that enable swift and secure data synchronization.
Additionally, evaluate the ease of use and the level of technical support provided. A user-friendly interface and comprehensive support resources can significantly reduce the learning curve and help your team quickly adapt to the new system.
Ultimately, you’ll want to consider the software’s ability to handle complex integration scenarios and its performance in real-time data processing to ensure it meets your operational needs. With that in mind, a pre-built connector for PLM and ERP integration may be the fastest and most effective means of achieving your goals.
