"Products are becoming more complex, so it is vital to an overview of the product and remove the islands between departments." "So basic is a technology for centralizing the data of the life of product", continued. This allows you to accelerate product development by 20%, improving teamwork, accessing the requirements and specifications of product, mechanical design, etc. "so the PLM must be global, non departmental."

"An overview of the product cycle that allows detecting errors, anticipate changes and making the right decisions, resulting in an increase in the competitiveness", continued.

The PLM must be simple, to go to easy configuration solutions that allow greater profitability and a higher investment, especially in the case of SMEs environment.

We must also avoid customizations, simplicity is vital, 'on-line' updates, possibility of the system, through a simple interface and a flexible and high performance.

In addition to showing the features and benefits of various solutions (such as a greater speed in the processes, obtaining an overview at all times, the increase in the quality and productivity with higher accuracy, among others)Particularly stressed the importance of developing open solutions, which allow a greater presence and adaptability to other already existing in the enterprise systems siemens PLM Software. The audience (more than 45 people), which included executives of companies such as Seat, Alston, Biosystems, T-Systems, TMB or Promaut among many others, enjoyed a very different from the usual, enjoyable and relaxed presentation.

"PLM must be global, non departmental." "An overview of the product cycle that allows detecting errors, anticipate changes and making the right decisions, resulting in an increase in competitiveness"

According to the company, Siemens PLM Team Center is the only integrable.

Nine out of ten of the largest automotive manufacturers have selected partner in PLM, decanting by Team Center.

Also, eight of the ten largest aerospace companies work with TeamCenter.

In general, 90 percent of companies with more than a thousand jobs in PLM used Team Center. And in total, they have double the income from the closest competitor.
