Developer Frameworks
PLM 7 Basis Framework
The PLM 7 Basis Developer Frameworks offer basis utilities with easy-to-consume DDIC services, user services, number ranges and GUID utilities.
The framework contains a user interface bundle with lean ALV and hierarchical ALV components for SAPGUI and WebDynpro. It includes a message handling framework for SAPGUI and WebDynpro (including FPM) as well as the sophisTex Switch Framework.
Problem
Many basis services are available in SAP basis core components, but they are spread across many different packages and are often not easy to consume. Developers can easily spend days on trying to find the appropriate basis service and figuring out how to call it in the right way. When adding user interface topics, the effort multiplies with light speed.
The sophisTex PLM 7 Basis Developer Frameworks offer a lean and compressed view on all these services. All important basis functionality is encapsulated in easy-to-consume methods. Searching through the jungle of basis functionality? Yesterday's problems with our Basis Developer Framework.

Problem
SAP implementation projects usually require enhancements to the standard logic. This is valid for SAP PLM / PLM 7 as well as other functional solutions and modules. While the business requirement is clear prior to implementation, developers with the specific knowledge of the certain business functionality are hard to find.
Even experienced developers need a considerable time to learn about the specific interfaces, business objects, persistence and user interface functionality. Thus, every implementation project spends a considerable amount of time rather on educating the development staff, instead of developing the actual requirements.
Eventually the development staff is familiar with all interfaces and specifics. However, functionality still needs to be linked and consumed together to fulfill the project requirements. Another considerable amount of effort is spent on linking SAP standard functionality and creating service methods that provide the desired logical functionality.
