A New Program Review Report from CIMdata: UGS’ Velocity Series Portfolio—PLM for Mid-Sized Companies
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, November 9, 2006 — CIMdata consulting and research firm announces the availability of a new Program Review report entitled “UGS’ Velocity Series Portfolio—PLM for Mid- Sized Companies.” In this report, CIMdata provides an introduction to the business problem faced by mid-sized companies and how they can benefit from Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and reviews UGS’ Velocity Series Portfolio, and their approach to addressing the business problems of mid-sized companies.
Ed Miller, CIMdata President explained, “To become more effective, more innovative, and more successful, businesses around the world are investing in PLM at increasing levels.” He added that while PLM has been implemented mostly by the world’s larger organizations, “Mid-sized enterprises, faced with the same challenges as larger organizations, are turning to PLM to improve their competitiveness.” He pointed out that “while the need is similar, the solutions and approaches required vary, and UGS clearly understands that.”
To meet the needs of the mid-sized market, UGS launched their Velocity Series Portfolio which provides broad PLM support to mid-sized companies. Mr. Miller said, “Although a focus on mid-sized companies has not been typical for UGS historically, they have clearly demonstrated their commitment to the mid- sized market through their Velocity program.” A key aspect of UGS’ Velocity Series is the fact that most of its component products such as Teamcenter Express, are based upon more robust products that are components of UGS’ overall PLM suite of high-end offerings. The corresponding Velocity Series components are expandable to the full high-end UGS applications.
Success in supporting PLM for mid-sized companies is dependent on UGS having partners that can deliver on this promise. To this end, “UGS established a highly qualified set of partners, who are well- trained and certified to effectively take UGS’ broad PLM program into this market.”
The UGS’ Velocity Series Portfolio—PLM for Mid-Sized Companies Program Review are available at no cost now.
