The common goal: Reducing the effort involved in mapping
Both companies, Siemens and SAP, want to use their partnership to better integrate the existing process chains in the future. So far, the connection between Teamcenter and the SAP Business Suite has primarily existed. In the future, the PLM world from Siemens is to be seamlessly integrated into the ERP environment so that the effort involved in the interfaces is significantly reduced. One of these efforts leads to the so-called "pipeline designer" for T4ST. This already enables easy reading, writing and mapping of attributes between the two system worlds. Numerous libraries are available as standard for this purpose.
Why is the S4S bundle so important?
The combination of T4S and T4ST in a joint S4S merger combine their respective advantages and secure your future potential.
How to deal with the existing T4S interface?
Numerous companies are already using a classic T4S interface. For many, the question arises as to whether the implemented solution is still future-proof or whether it will be replaced in the near future.
So that you can better assess your starting position, we are giving you a few facts. These are primarily aimed at existing Siemens customers:
- The T4S license will be transferred to the S4S license at the end of 2022
- S4S includes the license for T4S and T4ST
- Siemens will maintain support for existing T4S implementations for at least another 10 years
- To use the T4ST interface, an additional PLMSI license is required
- When using a T4ST, the Pipeline Designer interface is used
- Siemens will not force any customer to switch from T4S to T4ST. It remains just a recommendation for now!
