SIEMENS TEAMCENTER UNIFIED PROFESSIONAL
The customer must be able to access their data in formats that make it easy to consume, easy to modify (if allowed), and for that, we provide the appropriate SOA services to access, import, and export the data necessary for their business process.”įor more detailed discussion on this subject you can read the CIMdata white paper on “the SOA based unified architecture”.Are you an experienced, passionate pioneer in technology? A system's professional who wants to work in a collaborative environment. Our openness strategy is fundamentally based upon the premise that we do not own the data that the customer does. Finding the right level of coarse grained SOA is the key enabler for a global deployment. If your SOA is too “coarse grained”, then it is difficult to support the customer’s proprietary business processes. If your SOA is too “fine grained”, then the product is not usable over a WAN, because it becomes too chatty.

We at Siemens PLM Software have an “open” mantra that is ingrained in every aspect of what we do.” Proper granularity is the secret sauce. This is what makes one PLM system more open than others. We want to make it easier for other enterprise applications to integrate and leveragethe information. Our objective is to provide out-of –the-box services that expose business data at a functional level for each of the Teamcenter unified applications. A PLM system can be SOA compliant but may not have the proper granularity to achieve the kind of intoperability that customers need. He said “What differentiates one PLM SOA from another is the level of granularity, and standard of compliance. What makes one PLM SOA different from another PLM SOA? I asked this question of Dave Mitchell, VP & Chief Architecture, Teamcenter, Siemens PLM Software. Below is Teamcenter architecture framework which shows SOA layers – Client, Web Service and Application. A good example here would be integrating Engineering Change Orders (ECO) with costing applications to help understand ECO’s impact on cost.Īnother way to look at SOA is from PLM architecture point of view.
