UGS PLM Solutions Extends Leadership in Aerospace & Defense
with New and Enhanced Teamcenter(R) Solutions Teamcenter spans the
lifecycle for end-to-end asset operating performance ATLANTA, April
20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MRO 2004 -- UGS PLM Solutions, the
product lifecycle management (PLM) subsidiary of EDS, today
announced the enhancement of its Teamcenter(R) solution for
Aerospace and Defense. The announcement was made at the MRO 2004,
the world's largest conference and exhibition for the global
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry. Separately, UGS
PLM Solutions announced the availability of Teamcenter In-Service,
a new solution that extends the value of PLM to MRO organizations
(see Teamcenter In-Service press release issued today). Teamcenter,
from UGS PLM Solutions, is a proven portfolio of configurable
lifecycle domain and industry solutions, uniting product knowledge
with process innovation to deliver business value throughout the
product lifecycle. Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense is an industry
solution pre-packaged with industry expertise for fast deployment
and a rapid return-on-investment. "Teamcenter is the de facto
global standard for the aerospace and defense industry when it
comes to production-proven, 'industrial-strength' and scalable PLM
solutions," said Tony Affuso, president and CEO of UGS PLM
Solutions. "With all 15 of the top A&D OEMs managing their
intellectual assets with Teamcenter, our customers are saving
billions of dollars in design and production costs and cycle time."
Teamcenter's position as the leading solution for intellectual
asset management in aerospace and defense is reinforced by research
reported by CIMdata, a consulting and industry research firm that
tracks the PLM market. Based on 2002 revenue estimates (2003
estimates are not yet available), CIMdata ranks EDS as the revenue
leader in the aerospace and defense sector of the PLM industry's
highest-growth segment -- collaborative Product Definition
management (cPDm). "UGS PLM Solutions has clearly distinguished
itself as a key supplier of cPDm and overall PLM solutions for
aerospace and defense contractors; companies that focus on complex,
long-life products," said Ed Miller, president of CIMdata. "These
release milestones for Teamcenter further bolster UGS PLM
Solutions' position in the industry." Teamcenter Aerospace and
Defense Version 4 Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense enables global
program and team collaboration to manage extremely complex
products, long development cycles and stringent processes. The new
release of Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense features a secure,
web-native environment with PLM capabilities for program- driven
change and configuration management, audit management, scheduling,
document management, ITAR (Export Control) administration and
CDRL/SDRL data management. Combined with Teamcenter In-Service,
Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense offers the first complete PLM
solution for the A&D industry to fully integrate product
knowledge from requirements to retirement. The Royal Australian
Navy (RAN) selected Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense because it met
95 percent of its requirements out-of-the-box. The RAN is currently
rolling out Teamcenter Aerospace and Defense as the primary
application for through-life configuration management of the
functional, allocated and product baselines of its ships and
shore-based mission-capable assets, and will be reviewing
Teamcenter In-Service to see if it offers similar cost effective
benefits in maintaining operational readiness with an assurance of
fitness for service. About UGS PLM Solutions UGS PLM Solutions, a
