Teamcenter software supports Microsoft Sharepoint

Through its strong alliance with Microsoft and its own internal development, Siemens PLM Software is introducing the next generation of social product development and helping manufacturers enhance collaboration among their employees, suppliers and customers to streamline the introduction of new products using corporate social networks.

Teamcenter manages the product and process data for many of the manufacturing industry's most sophisticated products.

Through its longstanding alliance with Microsoft, Siemens PLM Software has been able to progressively integrate Teamcenter capabilities into its customers' standard desktop environment, significantly expanding its usability into all departments, throughout a variety of industry segments.

With the release of the Teamcenter community collaboration capabilities on Sharepoint 2010, Siemens PLM Software and Microsoft continue to expand the value of PLM in a digitally connected world.

For example, teams can increase their productivity by co-ordinating their daily activities through shared project workspaces enhanced with social-networking tools such as wikis, blogs, profiles and surveys.
