release of Teamcenter Express Version 4 on the Teamcenter unified
architecture delivers improved usability and scalability for SMBs,"
said Peter Bilello, director of Consulting Services, CIMdata.
"Version 4 extends accessibility well beyond the traditional areas
of product data management to include significant support for
project management and a targeted set of capabilities for data
consumers such as shop floor users." Teamcenter Express Version 4
features improved collaboration and control for project managers,
lead engineers and shop floor users. Two new modules help SMBs
streamline their engineering resources and widen access to their
product data for project managers, lead engineers and shop floor
users. For project managers and lead engineers, Teamcenter Express
Version 4 delivers an embedded project management option that is
tightly integrated with the existing standard document management,
project-based security and workflow capabilities in Teamcenter
Express. This module improves collaboration and control by managing
the scheduling of multiple projects and their related tasks,
together with resource allocation and the ability to import and
export project plans to and from Microsoft(R) Project. For shop
floor users, such as manufacturing team leaders and machine
operators, Teamcenter Express Version 4 delivers a lower cost,
optional web client. This streamlined Shop Floor Viewer is
specifically targeted at shop floor use cases and delivers the fast
access to product data that industry analysts estimate saves
engineers 10-12 percent of their time. It includes engineering data
searches, "where used" queries to determine product usage and
viewing/printing. The comprehensive visualization capabilities
include viewing a wide variety of 2D document file types and 3D
models as well as the ability to measure and view cross-sections.
The Shop Floor Viewer is a cost-effective entry point for all
employees who need basic "find, view, print" access to the single
source of product data provided by Teamcenter Express. "The
addition of these capabilities to Teamcenter Express allows SMBs to
streamline project scheduling and extend access to product data to
the shop floor, while optimizing the use of their precious IT
resources," Bruce Boes, vice president of global Velocity Series
marketing, Siemens PLM Software. "With each release, we continue to
stay dedicated to a preconfigured cPDM tool that is easy to use and
deploy for SMBs." In addition, Teamcenter Express Version 4
includes several new usability enhancements that speed the user's
learning and adoption curve and improve the efficiency of managing
everyday tasks and processes for design-through-manufacturing, from
the user's desktop and across projects and programs. Teamcenter
Express Version 4 is built on, and delivers complete scalability
to, the unified architecture of Teamcenter 2007. Teamcenter is the
