Siemens Releases Teamcenter on the Cloud

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software announced the availability of Teamcenter software on the cloud. According to the company, Teamcenter on the cloud enables companies to move some, or all, of their computing infrastructure to a third-party cloud service provider versus investing in their own hardware. This gives customers cost effective access to enterprise grade IT infrastructure and resources without the need for capital expenditure.

Siemens now supports Teamcenter on three of the leading cloud services, Microsoft Windows Azure, IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+ and Amazon Web Services. The company has completed a certification and enablement program for Teamcenter delivered on each of these service provider's cloud offerings.

The solution provides flexible deployment of virtual Teamcenter environments with the ability to dynamically scale infrastructure up and down based on project needs. Customers can use the service to instantly turn on infrastructure resources without significant upfront investments. Deploying Teamcenter on the cloud enables centralized application management from expert teams, freeing up customers' IT resources to focus on value-added services such as supplier and partner on-boarding.

"The key benefit of Teamcenter on the cloud is the business flexibility it provides," said Eric Sterling, senior vice president, lifecycle collaboration software, Siemens PLM Software. "In today's ever changing global landscape, the flexibility to dynamically manage infrastructure on the cloud gives customers the ability to scale up computing resources with demand and more importantly, scale down costs if demand decreases. This enables organizations to effectively manage IT budgets as an operating expense versus capital expense which can improve profitability. We are thrilled to work with leading providers like Microsoft, IBM and Amazon to roll out this new platform of choice."
