You may have heard us speak about how industry data models in AutoCAD Map 3D can be used to integrate with ERP systems such as SAP to enable asset budget planning.
We have just released a new white paper, entitled An Approach to Integrated Design and Asset Data Management Workflows, that describes in some detail how integration with SAP and other systems can be achieved.
This paper (posted on Autodesk.com) explores one approach to implement an integrated workflow in an environment, with solutions including AutoCAD Utility Design and AutoCAD Map 3D software, as well as common utility enterprise asset management systems such as SAP.
