Enterprise Link

Connect Enterprise Systems to CIS
Enterprise Link offers a unidirectional data flow from enterprise ERP/PLM systems to CIS. Engineering specific component parametric information...

and CAD symbol information are linked to corporate part numbers and manufacturing information using Enterprise Link. This provides flexibility for design engineers and at the same time implements a certain level of control for part selection and introduction. Only approved manufacturer parts are displayed inside Cadence® OrCAD® Capture CIS and engineers have the capability to introduce new parts as temporary place holders.

Export BOMs
Bills of materials exported from Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS will now include required corporate data because this information has been captured...

at the very beginning of the design process. Enterprise Link provides a closed-loop solution for engineering, with the purpose of tying engineering goals to the overall business goals of the corporation. Through a comprehensive data management system companies can reduce the administrative overhead associated with the design process because part information will be current and accurate.

Configure Administrative Privileges
Enterprise Link allows for the creation of administrative responsibilities to ensure that data remains secure and consistent.

Administrative organization is key to managing database information properly and preventing errors and unwanted changes. By structuring your team properly everyone should have roles and access that fit their needs.

Minimize ERP/ PLM Licensing and Training
By mirroring corporate data into CIS, users have direct access to part data without the need to use the ERP/PLM system.

Implementing Enterprise Link minimizes the need for corporate system licenses and user training, both of which can have a significant financial and time cost. An increased number of users accessing the ERP system also increases the risk for data corruption and accidental changes. With Enterprise Link designers can focus on addressing complex design problems instead of navigating a complex ERP/PLM solution.
