forward to NX while also taking care of the immediate needs of I-deas

customers. This plan focuses on the UGS strategic objective for our

I-deas customers to migrate from I-deas to NX successfully, while

preserving your investment and intellectual capital contained in your

I-deas data and maintaining continuity in current workflows. This

strategic plan encompasses both I-deas and I-deas Team Data Manager

(TDM) and the move from I-deas with TDM to NX with Teamcenter

Engineering.

The UGS program encompassing both this strategic objective and the

tactical objective for I-deas customers is called 揈volution of

Excellence.This program combines the excellence from both the

traditional I-deas product line and the Unigraphics product line to

create a product with superior productivity called NX.

The objective of the Evolution of Excellence program is to move all

existing I-deas customers and Unigraphics customers to NX

successfully. Once in place, customers will enjoy increased

productivity through the capabilities of market-leading system level

engineering, unified solution, managed development environment,

simulation, and knowledge enabled applications.
