Company Profile„Fascination with Integration”. Not only does DSC Software AG live its own cor-porate slogan, it also passes on its genui-ne enthusiasm to its customers – offe-ring innovative integration solutions for SAP PLM, PDM and CAD applications. The portfolio covers everything from analysis and consulting to development and implementation to operation and services.
Consistent flows of information and cor-porate processes: those are the objecti-ves of the Karlsruhe-based enterprise when it develops and realizes sustainable concepts and needs adequate solutions. These products are the result of more than 25 years of project experience con-sistently aligned with established every day practical requirements. On the basis of modular and flexibly configurable standard software, DSC has, for instance, developed more than 100 tailored inte-gration solutions in use around the world – for very diverse sectors and com- panies that are vastly different in size.
Seven League Boots have magic powers. they give
hikers the ability to easily cross long distances in
no time at all. we are already familiar with this
scenario from the story of the tiny tom thumb
who took the Seven League Boots from the slee-
ping giant. they did not only help him to get home
much earlier, they also made him wealthy and
eventually even got him the position of being
the King’s courier. Do miracles like this one only
happen in fairy tales? Definitely not. DSC also
has Seven League Boots – for SaP PLM.
The product lifetime path is a long one; product
lifecycle management is an expansive field –
chockfull of efficiency and quality objectives, but
also made tough by technical and organizational
road blocks. Companies are compelled to over-
come rocky IT landscapes; fight their way through
dense jungles full of information and have to
master broad streams of data and traffic peaks.
That’s why Seven League Boots do come in handy,
also because with them, a lot of things work
automatically.
Even the longest route turns into a short run
Lots of clients? Remote locations? A problem that’s
compounded by large volumes of data? DSC infra-
structure solutions ensure that product informa-
tion arrives at every destination quickly and without
taxing resources. Intelligent download and trans-
mission processes accelerate data transfers while
they also reduce the loads that have to be handled
by the SAP system and WAN.
A few examples:
• Any number of clients can be updated by
accessing the SAP system only once
• Bundled and secured, the SAP data is trans-
ported to the respective location cache
• After any connection time-out, the transfer
restarts exactly at the same point where it was
interrupted
• Users can have any number of documents of
their choice updated with priority
The result in a nutshell: Data is always up-to-date
company-wide and everyone involved always has
access to the same status of information. Teams
working in different locations have an easier time
communicating and everyone makes better pro-
gress. It does not matter whether an individual
is in a very remote location – he or she will always
remain in the immediate proximity of the infor-
mation.
The vast PLM world becomes a small village
Successful PLM does not only hinge on shortening
the distances and speeding up the processes. It ac-
tually does not become a pair of shoes that fit per-
fectly until its processes and flows of information
are consistent. Engineering Control Center or ECTR
is a solution that ensures is the case by interlinking
programs, data and processes with each other. As
a result, a lot more can be achieved in just a few
steps. As a powerful integration platform, ECTR
seamlessly connects heterogeneous applications
with SAP PLM – including other SAP software, Mi-
crosoft Office, e-mail programs or tools for image
editing, CAD and 3D publishing. ECTR consolidates
them in a shared interface, designed for intuitive

operation and individualized configuration. The
fact that they have direct access to the connected
programs allows users to continue to apply practi-
ces and also take advantage of SAP PLM’s benefits.
As a result, time consuming training is no longer
necessary and such as the work processes are
facilitated. The latter is also true thanks to the fact
that all product information required during the
product development process is centrally available
at all times – consistently and up-to-date. Conse-
quently, resources can be used more effectively,
while processes are optimized and the full poten-
tial of PLM can be utilized. This solution works with
CAx, document and plant lifecycle management,
technical documentation and so much more. No
matter, which route you choose to take or what
you need: thanks to ECTR you’ll have the perfect
tool at hand – just a mouseclick – you‘re ready to go.
Development and production become the
closest of companions on the journey
Two legs do carry us further. This is also true for
products, which is why they need the support of
Development and Production. DSC turns these
two departments into very close partners – thanks
to FCTR – the Factory Control Center. FCTR inte-
grates production planning consistently into SAP
PLM – including tool management and logistics as
well as CAM and DNC connection.
As a result:
• It becomes a lot easier to compile tool assem-
blies and to automate cut-off point testing
• Tools can be administrated in an organized
manner thanks to the SAP classification
• Orders can be set up expeditiously and the use
of tools can be reduced
• NC and order data can be transferred from SAP
PLM to the DNC server in a process controlled
manner
