SYSTIME, Oracle Unveil AIA Packs For Agile PLM, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

Further extending the value that Oracle Applications deliver to customers, SYSTIME and Oracle have announced availability of an Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) solution that connects Oracle’s Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

The PLM Process Integration Pack enables rapid implementations of Oracle’s Agile PLM processes integrated to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP. This integration helps JD Edwards customers reduce the cost and risk associated with typical third-party and custom PLM integrations.

Developed in collaboration between Oracle and SYSTIME, the new integration is part of Oracle AIA, a solution that delivers integrated business processes across Oracle, third-party and custom applications.

Pre-Integrated Offering Delivers Value

Oracle AIA provides a pre-built integration between Agile PLM and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to improve organisational transparency and streamline product innovation through better design making, accelerated manufacturing and an expedited time to market. Through this integration, customers benefit from:

* Pre-defined PLM transfer templates: Pre-defined templates for design release of new product definition and product launch, as well as change management of previously launched products.

* Bi-directional data exchange: Synchronisation of engineering change status and material attribute information between manufacturing and PLM enables higher innovation efficiency.

* Robust error-handling and notification framework. The integration pack provides multiple layers of validation to ensure data exchanges are complete and properly formatted. All business rules within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are also validated for every transaction. Exception handling ensures that unsuccessful transactions are rolled-back and e-mail notifications are sent.

* End-to-end process monitoring. Tracking and monitoring of the change process queue minimises data exchange latency and ensures effective process completion.
