Teamcenter is a product lifecycle management system designed to help organizations integrate and standardize product development processes across functional silos.
I like using QT9 because it's easy to use, easy to train others and is very user friendly. QT9 has all that we need to be successful. Our data tracking, corrective actions, documentation tracking and the reporting of that data is extremely easy to use and implement. We also think that the EC process is very useful for updating designs
Teamcenter is perfect for working in large-scale projects related to manufacturing and engineering where collaboration and management of data are crucial. It is evident where the complexity of the products is high such as in automobile and aerospace industries. Some of its features may seem too elaborate for the small business with a less complex process and therefore too expensive. It is less useful in organizations that do not have complex PLM needs or have less IT capacity to implement the system.
Data Management: your Parts divided into Item Types.
Data Management: You can easily add pseudo folders to segregate data inside. You don't have to look for anything now.
Change Management: Use the built-in or customize it. Now, you have workflows and can decide who is responsible for every task. It's done automatically.
Project Management - built-in MS Project, can manage tasks and still have a Gantt chart from it.
CAD integration - a lot of time saved when single source of true.
I'm going to be a little blunt here. So the way how MPP and bombs are getting separated out, that is creating some issues when we want to implement end-to-end processes. The bomb team, the manufacturing or the sector manager kind of team, tries to give various features for the materials and bombs related to them, but all of those features are not available for BOP. For example, solution variant creation. When we have a variant based structure, I can create a solution variant for bombs, but I cannot create a solution variant for BOPs and this is, I would say something of a gap that Siemens should address and get it fixed. We have to do customization, but if the product is itself giving us then this is an elegant way to push it further. This is what I would say is the issue.
Because of our current customer needs, we will most likely maintain use of Siemens PLM products for some time. Aside from the initial software cost, we pay for yearly maintenance. Maintaining our yearly maintenance licensing with Siemens, we receive access to all of the latest software releases, as well as premier technical support
As previously mentioned, due to the intense amount of features and modules present in the software, the usability of the software suffers greatly. Many of the features are not used in our context, and many of the modules are not purchased, but the options are still present on the interface leading to a lot of clutter, much of which is never used. The interfaces suffer from a lack of design and tend to feel like a conglomerate of Windows 98 elements.
QT9 QMS has always been available. Even in instances where there would be an update, notifications would be sent out to provide a heads up to the users. Any issues where QT9 QMS would have problems, glitches, or run slow, support was always available to take care of the issues.
I give it a 10 as the information is always readily available. As for speed, For the most part, loading of the sometimes takes a little longer than others. There are occasional times that it does run a little slow, but when that happens, the support team has always been there to help.
In the time that we have used Teamcenter we have received a good response from the support team, they have great customer service, we have solved the problems that have arisen very quickly, and they are attentive and answer us if we have any questions.
I had online training which was wonderful. The training was open and inviting to ask questions. I came on just after QT9 QMS was accepted in the company. SO I was in almost at the ground floor.
Training was open and was able to ask any questions. This provided clarity in all the areas that I would use. There has been training readily offered by the QT9 company and provided opportunities to grow our understanding of the software and additional ways that we could utilize it.
Earlier, some of the companies acquired by my organization were using PTC Windchill, but the overall stability, user experience and depth of functionality which are provided by Teamcenter doesn't match with any other PLM software and thus, all the acquired companies which were earlier using PTC Windchill has now slowly started into moving towards Teamcenter.
We have sites in many different areas within and outside of our current state. The use of QT9 QMS allows all sites to be in one database so everyone has the same information. The rollout of the software was rather easy as online training could be used for all sites and provided an excellent tool for all areas.
Teamcenter is easily on the best scalable solution. The single source of product information allows us to collaborate more effectively on the product lifecycle. Also, being a cloud solution, it is pretty straightforward to scale as the maintenance required is quite low . In addition, the overall cost is also easily manageable for businesses like ours.
We chose Teamcenter because of its cost-effectiveness, and we can say that it has lived up to our expectations because we have been able to save in other more expensive tools to do what we can do in this one. The ROI has been over 40% because we have integrated it across multiple teams and it has allowed us to reduce the amount of errors in our processes and create a more centralized environment.
