CIMdata Publishes a Program Review of Siemens’ Teamcenter Express
CIMdata consulting and research firm announces the availability of a new program review of Teamcenter Express, Siemens PLM Software’s collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) solution. The program review provides an overall description as well as CIMdata’s assessment of the Teamcenter Express program for the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market.
Teamcenter Express is the core data management component of the UGS Velocity Series—a set of preconfigured and easy-to-deploy design and data management PLM-enabling solutions. It is intended to address the product design through manufacturing planning needs of small- to medium-sized companies.
Peter Bilello, CIMdata Director of Consulting Services, explained that mid-market solutions like Siemens’ Teamcenter Express focus on PLM issues that affect multiple industries including mechanical machinery and equipment, electromechanical, automotive products, consumer products, and others. He explained, “The capabilities provided by these solutions best support small- to medium-sized manufacturing companies who design/engineer parts, components, and assemblies that are low to medium in complexity. These companies focus their requirements on data vault management, workflow automation, and applications that support specific needs in the engineering/manufacturing process such as change management, process planning, and quality assurance.”
Mr. Bilello added that, “the key to success in this mid-market PLM space is the development and delivery of out-of-the-box applications and business solutions based on best practices that support an enterprise’s product definition information management requirements. Siemens’ Teamcenter Express and the rest of the UGS Velocity series’ components are intended to deliver to this model.”
Mr. Bilello said, “CIMdata is impressed with the comprehensive approach Siemens has taken, which clearly illustrates their commitment to the mid-market.” He added, “What is particularly impressive and beneficial for small- to mid-sized companies is that the various components of the offering are quick and easy-to-install, and completely scalable to the full range of Siemens’ enterprise-level PLM solutions.”
