Basic principles and advantages of WIISAP (1/5)
5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product
Orientation towards the overall process
Windchill as driving system provides the subsequent processes out of one consistent
Engineering-/Product data backbone
Full integration of the interface into the Change and Release process triggers data transfer
automatically in the background
Possibility of manual preliminary transfers to SAP out of Windchill‘s User Interface
Possibility of status response from SAP to Windchill (lifecycle state)
© 2013 Mieschke Hofmann und Partner Gesellschaft für Management- und IT-Beratung mbH 39
Basic principles and advantages of WIISAP (2/5)
5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product
Usage of standard data provisioning- and posting methods
Usage of Windchill standards for data provisioning (Enterprise System Integration) and
therewith usage of PTC development experience in ESI and ESI Services
Usage of Windchill‘s standard user interface reduced effort on updates
Usage of standard transfer structures (XML) as well as standard posting modules in SAP with
additional logging- and monitoring features
Integration into Windchill‘s and SAP‘s release cycles and thereby reduced effort
© 2013 Mieschke Hofmann und Partner Gesellschaft für Management- und IT-Beratung mbH 40
Basic principles and advantages of WIISAP (3/5)
5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product
Flexibility of WIISAP
Oriented on Windchill‘s product structure
By using automated actions in the background of the change process there is no need for
user activity (like „send to SAP“) reduced effort in daily business and training sessions
Configurable mapping tables
e.g. for attributes,
SAP template materials,
lifecycle statuses
Highly configurable,
e.g.: content of DIR in SAP is
configurable:

Basic principles and advantages of WIISAP (4/5)
5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product
Technology
Lean business logic inside the middleware using SAP PI (thereby waiving of TIBCO middleware)
=> WIISAP solution nicely fits companies with a SAP oriented approach
Deeper integration to SAP (will be continued)
Close cooperation with PTC and SAP in software & service partnerships

5 MHPAddOn WIISAP as a Product – Summary
Cross-application
Business Solution
We are following the principle that product data is
being created in the engineering department and will
then be passed to following processes.
Transparent, for users
non-visible interface
The Change and Release Management Process takes the
lead / governance over product structures / data,
the integration automates the data transfer.
Seamless integration in and
usage of Best Practices
The initial interface setup can be done with
little configuration effort in Windchill and SAP as well as
little training effort for users.
Security of investment
A robust and slim architecture could be achieved by
using standard data provisioning and posting / update
functionality.
Modular standard product Our customers will benefit from a modular extensibility
with defined processes and functions.
Advantages - Summary: Process Integration instead of pure Data Exchange
© 2013 Mieschke Hofmann und Partner Gesellschaft für Management- und IT-Beratung mbH 44
- Process-driven transfer (BoM, Parts , Documents) incl. mapping of attributes
- Interface functionality out of Windchill‘s Change Request / Order
- Preliminary transfer from Windchill to SAP
- Lifecycle states in Windchill can be set after changes in SAP
- Status messages / feedback is integrated into Windchill’s User Interface
Release V1.0 Spring 2013
Release V2.0 2014
Release V3.0 2015
Note:
- Release strategy not guaranteed
- Depends on technical evolution
- Depends on market requirements
Release Strategy WIISAP
Future topics (planned)
