eSpline assisted Bentley Systems to convert their legacy-based Configurator application to SAP’s VC and then to CRM-IPC.- DATA QUALITY - “I could not imagine entering all of the product models, which have to be assembled with a high degree of interconnection, by hand, and even if we had, there would have been many mistakes, and individual variations that could have caused errors in our product offering and delays in rolling out SAP CRM.”
- GET PRODUCT MODEL LOADS OFF THE CRITICAL PATH. “By combining eSpline’s product model design expertise, configurable product model data conversion methodology, and their semi-automatic tools that amplified our modelers’ efforts, we were able to safely migrate our products from Siebel into SAP in about 1/10th of the time it would have taken us to enter and correct manually.”
- EASE OF USE: “Once we decided on our product model design, we were able to implement it outside SAP and easily fine-tune it, load it into SAP, perform integration and performance tests. Any necessary changes were much easier to make outside of SAP, and we used tools to automatically load our models into SAP.”
Bentley Systems is the leading provider of AEC [Architectural / Engineering / Construction] software to the Engineering News-Record Top 500 Design Firms and major owner-operators and was named the world’s No. 2 provider of GIS/geospatial software solution in a recent Daratech research study.

"Baldor’s ongoing relationship with eSpline has continually proven to be a key factor in the success of our VC/IPC projects. eSpline did not come in and do the work for us, they took the time to equip us to accomplish our goals. Their flexibility, expertise, and dedication have made them an ideal consulting partnership for Baldor."
