Teamcenter 2007 Aims to Integrate Disciplines, Lessen Cost of Ownership

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software has announced Teamcenter 2007. This latest version in its PLM digital platform and software portfolio “significantly lowers the total cost of ownership for PLM technology, enabling greater productivity for manufacturers through a single source of product and process knowledge,” according to a press release.

Offering a service-oriented architecture (SOA), easy-to-use interface, and end-to-end PLM solution set that the company calls “comprehensive,” Teamcenter 2007 was developed to cut the total cost of PLM ownership via features that simplify and accelerate implementations, enhance productivity, streamline collaboration, and expand control of the entire product lifecycle process.

The Business Modeler Integrated Development Environment (BMIDE), which enables software configuration versus customization along with rapid deployment of changes to remote sites through implementation templates and live server synchronization is one such example of lowering the cost of ownership.

Teamcenter 2007 offers a complete SOA technology foundation throughout the entire portfolio, delivering what Siemens PLM Software refers to as “the industry's first fully unified PLM suite.” By unifying all product-related data, Teamcenter 2007 creates fast, easy access to just the right information regardless of the end user's location or job responsibility.

Bill-of-material (BOM) management is simplified with new tools to visualize and browse complex product relationships, aligning design BOMs with business BOMs, and enabling BOM editing and redlining. Teamcenter 2007 also provides companies with greater control by allowing them to connect all of their processes into a cohesive system that enhances efficiency and improves management visibility throughout the product lifecycle.

The enhanced visibility afforded by Teamcenter 2007 can positively affect both top-line and bottom-line business value. Revenue potential is increased by validating ideas against market opportunities, producing products that are better aligned with market needs, and delivering them on time before the competition.
