Next Generation of the World’s Most Widely Used Digital Platform Delivers the Industry’s First Unified Architecture Giving Customers “Greater Powers” to Drive Innovation Teamcenter Enables Customers to “Spend Less Time on Non-productive Tasks and More Time on Producing the World’s Most Innovative New Products” PLANO, Texas October 2, 2007 – Siemens PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced Teamcenter® 2007 software, the latest version of its PLM industry-leading digital platform and software portfolio. Boasting a complete service-oriented architecture (SOA), easy-to-use interface and comprehensive end-to-end PLM solution set, Teamcenter 2007 significantly lowers the total cost of ownership for PLM technology and establishes greater productivity for manufacturers through a single source of product and process knowledge. “Teamcenter 2007 marks a new era of PLM market maturity with the industry’s first solution to move beyond individual software applications to establish a truly integrated PLM solution across disciplines, project phases and programs based upon SOA approaches,” said Michel Vrinat, Collaborative Product Development Associates analyst. “The rich capabilities in Teamcenter 2007 bode well for its continued industry leadership in the PLM marketplace.” Greater Manageability Teamcenter 2007 was developed with a focus on lowering the total cost of PLM ownership through a series of enhancements and features that simplify and accelerate implementations, enhance productivity, streamline collaboration and expand control of the entire product lifecycle process. One of the most powerful examples of this lower cost of ownership is found in Teamcenter’s new Business Modeler Integrated Development Environment (BMIDE). The BMIDE enables software configuration versus customization along with rapid deployment of changes to remote sites through implementation templates and live server synchronization. In addition, Teamcenter 2007 includes a complete SOA technology foundation throughout the entire portfolio, delivering the industry’s first fully unified PLM suite. The greater manageability enabled through Teamcenter 2007 sets a new standard for an easy-to-configure PLM environment, enabling companies to eliminate costly implementations and significantly reduce the time necessary to deploy a production-ready system.
