CIMdata Review of Teamcenter Express Available
 ANN
ARBOR, MI, Sep 24, 2009 - CIMdata, the leading global PLM consulting
and research firm, announces the availability of a new program
review of Teamcenter Express, a Siemens PLM Software 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. Customer testimonials are included to provide the
rationale for the selection of Teamcenter Express to support
specific PLM requirements, what the solution is being used for, and
what type of benefits the company is receiving. This review is an
assessment of the entire Teamcenter Express effort, including
development, marketing, sales, and the product itself, Teamcenter
Express Version 5.
Teamcenter Express is the core product data management component of
Siemens PLM Software’s Velocity Series—a set of preconfigured design,
manufacturing, and data management solutions. It is intended to address
product design through manufacturing planning needs of small- to
medium-sized companies in multiple industries.
Mid-market solutions like Teamcenter Express focus on PLM issues that
affect multiple industries including mechanical machinery and equipment,
electromechanical, automotive products, consumer products, and others. Peter
Bilello, Vice President of CIMdata explained, “The capabilities provided by
these solutions best support small- to medium-sized manufacturing companies
that design/engineer parts, components, and assemblies that are low to
medium in complexity.”
These solutions usually work with a wide variety of software
applications, and with traditional paper-based systems that generate or use
product-related data. Mr. Bilello added, “Typical users include managers,
administrators, and end-users from a variety of departments including
engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, sales, quality, and
information technology who all need to access and manipulate product data.
These solutions are intended to improve communication and cooperation among
these diverse groups and form the basis for organizations to support their
product definition lifecycle activities.”
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
Velocity Series’ components are intended to deliver to this model,”
according to Mr. Bilello.
“With the release of Teamcenter Express Version 5, Siemens has further
strengthened the solution’s productivity and scalability. The updated user
interface takes advantage of the latest user interface developments in
Teamcenter 8, including new the Structure Manager and Lifecycle Viewer
modules that provide improved ease-of-use for daily tasks around structure
management and visualization,” according to Mr. Bilello. The expanded
Microsoft Office integration provides easy access to cPDm for users of
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and includes the ability to
review and signoff on workflow tasks from within the desktop tool. CIMdata
continues to be impressed with the comprehensive approach Siemens PLM
Software has taken, which illustrates their commitment to the mid-market.
