Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration (Windchill ESI) is an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) based product, designed to integrate Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services offered by Windchill PDMLink, with the services offered by distribution targets such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Windchill+ supports transfer of product data from Windchill PDMLink to distribution targets using ERP Connector. The product information from Windchill PDMLink is published to a PTC managed Azure storage in standard extensible Markup Language (XML) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. You can then pull this data from the PTC managed Azure Blob storage and send it to the optional custom middleware or other ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle Applications for further consumption.

This section describes the administration tasks for ERP Connector.
