Autodesk Partners with NetSuite for ERP

摘要

It's no secret that Autodesk has staked its bet on the cloud as a key differentiator for its Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) 360 offering. Now the company is touting a partnership with enterprise resource planning (ERP) cloud provider NetSuite Inc., making closed-loop integration with ERP another ace in its quest to build out a winning PLM hand. The pair is promising to build seamless integration between Autodesk's PLM 360 cloud PLM platform and NetSuite's cloud-based business management suite, including the NetSuite Manufacturing Edition. The result, officials from both companies say, will be an end-to-end cloud-based solution that supports the full spectrum of activities related to designing and manufacturing products - from ideation, through manufacturing, service and multi-channel sales. The companies are working with Autodesk's PLM Connect cloud-based tool to create the integration between the platforms, says Brian Roepke, Autodesk's director of PLM.
