PROSTEP Partners with Total Materia on Integration

PROSTEP, a PLM consulting and software company, has partnered with Swiss materials information management company Total Materia. As part of the collaboration, PROSTEP will support the integration of Total Materia's online material lifecycle management (MLM) solution into customers' PLM and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. For this purpose, PROSTEP has developed a new standard connector that connects the Total Materia Integrator environment to common PLM and ERP systems via the OpenPDM integration platform.

Customers can either use the integration software as a service from the cloud or install it on-premises.

Total Materia's customers value the integration of the MLM platform into their PLM and ERP systems, enabling automatic transformation of material information to digital product data. Thanks to the partnership with PROSTEP, Total Materia is leveraging the PROSTEP expertise to create an integration layer between two critical engineering software environments.

"It is a perfect fit”, says Neil Bauman, chief operating officer from Total Materia. “The PLM integration platform OpenPDM offers proven standard connectors for common PLM and ERP systems. This allows us to avoid reinventing the wheel and deliver much high end to end value of our combined solutions to our customers.”

PROSTEP will support Total Materia's customers with the PLM and ERP integration of their material databases and recommend the Total Materia-solution to its own customers.

"Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role for our customers," says Karsten Theis, CEO of PROSTEP AG. "The partnership with Total Materia allows us to expand our solution portfolio to include the aspect of material lifecycle management and, as a result, provide our customers with even better support in meeting compliance requirements."
