What is IPS?
IPS is an SAP add-on tool that enables workflow for any business process or object. It provides a centralized way to create, manage, and automate processes across PLM, manufacturing, quality, master data, and beyond. IPS makes building workflows easier by combining drag-and-drop configuration and deep SAP integration so companies can adapt processes quickly.
IPS is aligned with SAP’s Clean Core principles, ensuring compliance while enabling flexibility through standardized, upgrade-safe integrations.
IPS enables organizations running on SAP to:
Create workflows for any SAP object, which simplifies them significantly.
Manage workflows using flexible collaboration features.
Automate the execution of processes to increase speed and accuracy.
Why IPS?

Case Studies
JBS: Automating requests for new materials
Requesting new materials was fragmented and heavily burdened the data management department. In conjunction with the BMAX solution (BOMs and Material Master Allocation Extension), IPS automated workflows, which allowed data for 18 material master views to be populated, ensuring compliance with corporate rules.
Modernizing R&D and PLM processes
The company sought to transform its research, development, and PLM processes. IPS helped solve current problems and implement forward-looking processes that the client can control independently.
Migrating from a legacy system to SAP PLM
The company faced difficulties migrating from a legacy PLM solution to SAP PLM. With the help of IPS, it could easily transfer and rebuild processes in SAP. As a result, the time to manage product changes was reduced from weeks to hours.
IT infrastructure consolidation and compliance
The company wanted to combine all its processes into a single ERP system, but standard SAP functions could not provide the necessary flexibility due to strict government regulations. IPS provided workflow flexibility and ensured compliance by integrating key quality management processes such as CAPA and SCAR.
