A New Program Review Report from CIMdata: Teamcenter Express
“Rapid cPDm Deployment for Mid-Sized Manufacturing Companies”
UPDATE: See the Press Release from December 21, 2006 for new information on Teamcenter Express
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, January 24, 2006—CIMdata consulting and research firm announces the availability of a new program review of UGS’ Teamcenter Express solution. In this report, CIMdata provides a review and assessment of the entire Teamcenter Express program including development, marketing and sales, and functionality.
Teamcenter Express is the core collaborative product data management (cPDm) component of the new UGS Velocity Series—a set of preconfigured and easy to deploy, design and data management solutions. UGS has designed this offering specifically to address the product design through manufacturing planning needs of small- to medium-sized companies.
Peter Bilello, CIMdata Director of Consulting Services and author of this report, explained that based on CIMdata’s research and experience, “the key to success in this mid-market product lifecycle management (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.” He added that UGS’ Teamcenter Express and the rest of the UGS Velocity series’ components deliver to this model.
“CIMdata is impressed with the comprehensive approach UGS has taken.” said Mr. Bilello. He explained that the UGS Velocity Series, which has been designed by UGS to leverage industry best practices to provide significant improvements in ease-of-use and deployment speed, clearly illustrates UGS commitment to the mid-market. “What is particularly impressive and beneficial to small- to medium-sized companies is that the various components of the offering are relatively quick and easy-to-install, and completely scalable to the full range of UGS’ enterprise-level PLM solutions.”
“CIMdata recommends that all small- to medium-sized discrete manufacturing companies or divisions of larger ones, in the market for an enterprise cPDm solution seriously consider Teamcenter Express and the other UGS Velocity Series components.” concluded Mr. Bilello.
Copies of the Teamcenter Express Program Review are available at no cost as a CIMdata Complimentary Report.
