Original Press Release:
UGS Simplifies Delivery of PLM to the Mid-Market with New Integrated Solid Edge Teamcenter Express Package
New package offers level of integration not available from other vendors for a low total cost of ownership
PLANO, Texas - UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced a new software package combining its Solid Edge® value-based 3D computer-aided design (CAD) system with its new breakthrough product data management (PDM) solution, Teamcenter® Express.
The list price for this new package is $6,995 (USD). This aggressive price point coupled with fast implementation and easy maintenance assure a low total cost of ownership for resource-constrained mid-sized companies. Both Solid Edge and Teamcenter Express are two components of the new UGS Velocity Series(TM) portfolio, the PLM industry's first comprehensive, preconfigured portfolio of digital product design, analysis and data management software for the mid-market. The package announced today focuses on CAD and PDM, with the tightest integration in the industry.
"The Solid Edge and Teamcenter Express package offer a way for companies to transparently use PDM," said Bruce Boes, vice president, UGS Velocity Series Marketing. "This combination addresses the need to easily and naturally manage all CAD data, and electronically collaborate with suppliers and customers through the industry's best practices delivered preconfigured for rapid deployment. For mid-market manufacturers, this package is the 'Fast Track' to PLM, with implementation in a matter of weeks and delivered at a fraction of the cost of high-end, customized PLM systems. "
New Standard Set in CAD/PDM Integration
The new level of Solid Edge and Teamcenter Express integration provides seamless and transparent connectivity. This connectivity ensures all essential Solid Edge commands are encapsulated and makes sophisticated data management functions transparent to the Solid Edge user.
Key functional advantages include:
o Seamless Integration: Teamcenter Express enables the capture of Solid Edge-related data for re-use in future projects.
o Transparent User Interface: A single user interface embeds PDM commands in standard Solid Edge CAD commands so there are no new icons to learn, unlike other systems that contain two separate user interfaces for PDM and CAD commands. Users are identified without the need for a separate login.
o CAD breadth: Unlike other PDM systems that offer only a subset of commands in modern CAD systems, all essential Solid Edge commands are encapsulated, providing access to a complete cPDM solution.
o Synchronized Releases: The latest Solid Edge releases and commands are integrated with Teamcenter to ensure compatibility, now and in the future.
o Multi-CAD and Multi-site: An optional Multi-site module is available based on the proven Teamcenter database replication tools that allow access to data at multiple locations. Teamcenter Express also supports other CAD systems including UGS' NX(TM) software as well as competitive systems allowing for management of multiple CAD applications under the same PDM system.
o Minimal IT requirements: Both Teamcenter Express and Solid Edge run in a standard Microsoft® environment allowing for easy installation and maintenance within a common environment found on most engineering desktops today. Teamcenter Express has a specially designed installation procedure that includes automatic configuration of a SQL database preconfigured to industry best practices.
