In collaboration with universities and scientists, Lista Office Group AG (Lista Office LO) turns the latest workplace research findings into innovative solutions. The leading Swiss manufacturer designs and implements office furniture, claiming their solutions make people work enthusiastically and successfully even on Mondays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4244\" width=\"532\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_4.png 603w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_4-600x321.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s comprehensive product portfolio manufactured in-house ranges from desks, cabinets, and shelves all the way to accessories, the little everyday helpers. They combine steel and wood in all their different varieties and in combination with textiles and other materials to best cater to their customers\u2019 tastes and required functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step on the path to implementing a single source of truth was finding the right solution provider. Lista Office LO provided several candidate companies with its requirement specifications. \u201cFollowing a brief evaluation phase, we invited Siemens Digital Industries Software solution partner Cytrus to implement a comprehensive PLM solution,\u201d says Thomas Friederich, IT manager, Lista Office LO. \u201cThey offered everything from a single source, showed a profound comprehension of our challenges and demonstrated a high level of problem-solving capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_3.png 611w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/ListaOfficeLO_3-600x332.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In a PLM maturity assessment prior to implementation, Cytrus and Lista Office LO gained a common understanding before validating all components of the solution. This involved a redesign of Lista Office LO\u2019s process landscape and of some of the ERP software procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Integrated Teamcenter Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution Cytrus offered uses Teamcenter\u00ae software from Siemens Digital Industries Software, an adaptable PLM system that connects people and processes across functional silos with a digital thread. To form a comprehensive, scalable solution spanning the entire company and covering all its processes, it is linked to Lista Office LO\u2019s ERP software through the Teamcenter Gateway for SAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
