UK's STFC to Use 100 Seats of Solid Edge
 OXFORDSHIRE,
UK, Mar 17, 2008 - Cutting Edge Solutions Ltd today announced a 5-year
contract to provide a PLM solution for at least 160 users at the UK Science
and Technology Facilities Council.
Under the terms of the contract, Cutting Edge Solutions Ltd (CES), a
leading Siemens PLM Software solution partner in the UK, will supply around
100 Design Engineers with the Velocity Series product portfolio. The
contract will be centered around Solid Edge and will include CAM Express,
Teamcenter Express, Femap, and NX, replacing the existing 3D CAD system.
Working closely with CES, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)
will also implement a Teamcenter PLM solution on approximately 160 desktops,
to give wider access to product design data.
The contract for the incumbent PTC system expired in December 2007, which
presented an opportunity to review all of the major systems on the market.
After exhaustive tests and benchmarks, CES was awarded a 5-year contract to
replace and expand the existing systems at Rutherford Appleton and Daresbury
Laboratories, which host three of STFC’s major facilities between them. CES
will also provide comprehensive implementation and support services.
Mr. Marc Simon, STFC Implementation Project Manager, states that Solid
Edge and the Velocity Series product suite was eventually chosen because:
“Technically, we felt that there was a good match between our needs and the
Solid Edge/Teamcenter Express capabilities. The Siemens PLM Software
portfolio also includes NX, which offers us the flexibility to expand our
capabilities even further should this be required.”
Mr. Simon continues that: “A significant factor in our decision was also
the level of support offered and demonstrated by CES, which was above and
beyond what was asked for in the tender.”
Mr. Allan Blackwell, Managing Director at CES, adds: “Naturally, we are
delighted to have been awarded this significant contract against stiff
competition. We are now looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship
with STFC that we can all become proud of.”
