Linx/AS expertise in high-demand at SAP Insider’s PLM2006

Linx/AS is recognized for its real business experience coupled with detailed knowledge of SAP technology. SAP Insider tapped two of Linx/AS’s subject matter experts to share both points of view (the business and the technology) on Project Management with cProject Suite and RoHS/WEEE compliance with mySAP PLM.

Tips for SAP cProject Suite Succes

Nico Bonthuys, Director of NPDI at Linx/AS Nico Bonthuys, Director of NPDI, Linx/AS Standardize your projects, increase usability & foster user adoption—that was the key message of Bonthuys’ address to the PLM2006 attendees.

On the surface, cProjects looks much like Microsoft Projects in a web browser. But, when you dig into the functionality, you get a deep appreciation for its robustness and reach across the SAP enterprise. Nico discussed leveraging key objects and services through cProject Suite, such as:

  • Workflow
  • R/3 objects (BOMs, Specs, and more)
  • HR and financials
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) & roles
  • External collaboration & automated data import
  • Document Management System (DMS)

RoHS, WEEE & mySAP PLM

Todd Judkins, Senior Project Manager, Linx/AS Todd Judkins, Senior Project Manager, Linx/AS A RoHS/WEEE specialist and leader of the Linx/AS Eco-Compliance Suite team, Judkins helped PLM2006 attendees find project requirements amid the confusion. With compliance deadlines approaching and some passing, high-tech and electronics companies continue to wrestle with defining their responsibilities with regard to RoHS & WEEE and how they legally demonstrate compliance. In Todd’s session, he touched upon some of the common requirements that have emerged, such as:
  • Secure, web-based collaboration for suppliers
  • Auditable documentation trail
  • Compliant/noncompliant declaration for sourcing agents
  • Verification and validation of disclosed data and documentation
  • What-if analysis against existing BOMs for replacement or re-engineered parts
  • Automated data transfer into the enterprise system to reduce redundancy and manual effort
