PLM Perspective
Last year, UGS PLM Solutions introduced Teamcenter lifecycle domain solutions to address the needs of the key corporate functions throughout the product lifecycle.
Digital product development solutions address the range of digital transformation required by most engineering organizations. With the January release of Teamcenter Engineering 9.0, UGS PLM Solutions enhances its digital product development solutions, with new capabilities for design management, engineering process management and digital mockup and validation.
New Managed Development Environment for NX
With the managed development environment provided by NX and Teamcenter, companies can reduce delays through fully integrated, synchronized management of all product data and process knowledge. A key component is a structured repository for all product and process data required in product development - not only the data created in computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing, but also a wealth of related information needed to execute development processes.
PLM Foundation
Our IT solutions are built on a platform that has modern, scalable architecture that provides room to grow as needs change and enables applications to be tailored for global collaboration. Many types of product-descriptive data are generated to meet the various needs of all participants in a product's lifecycle, ranging from engineering to marketing, to purchasing, warranty services and many others. PLM based on true lifecycle data architecture (LDA) comprehends and manages these disparate data types and maintains associations and accountability among the product representations so that all constituents can collaborate and add maximum value to the product.
PLM Open
In order to realize the concept of full "digital decision making", companies need to leverage all of their digital applications. By providing solutions that are open, we ensure that you can implement new solutions and PLM components that are right for you in an incremental fashion. Openness keeps your PLM activities connected across the enterprise.
PLM Portfolio
We are committed to the continuing development of best-in-class applications that address the entire lifecycle of a product, from concept through retirement. Applications are connected, integrated and built on the PLM Foundation. While many PLM vendors focus on the product development or engineering phase of a product's lifecycle, it is important that companies can also address areas such as requirements planning, procurement, MRO and advanced manufacturing initiatives as well as incorporate data from other organizational tools such as ERP, SCM and CRM. Also important is a portfolio that encompasses industry solutions, incorporating best practices and tools that accelerate productivity within industry segments.
In today's economy, a company's biggest challenge is being "right to market." Success is no accident. it depends on integrated strategies that drive innovation. PLM can be a significant driver when it is viewed from that perspective and built on an aggregate base of acuity that leverages all an organization knows, a foundation that provides room to grow, openness that connects everyone who affects a product and a broad portfolio of powerful collaborative solutions. This is when PLM is most powerful.
