Aucotec AG Joins Siemens PLM Software Solution Partner Program as a Software and Technology Partner

HANOVER, Germany, March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

New agreement enables seamless PLM integration of Teamcenter^® and the ECAE platform Engineering Base

The engineering software provider Aucotec AG uses Siemens PLM software technology to enhance the PLM integration of its Engineering Base (EB) system. This means that Aucotec can now offer its current and future customers closer integration with the Teamcenter^® portfolio, the same technology that companies around the world depend on every day to enhance product development decision making and produce better products. Siemens PLM Software is a leading global provider of PLM software and services.

The solution created by the partnership will keep all information securely managed throughout the whole lifecycle of the engineered plant, machine or mobile equipment. This enables the management and distribution of released engineering documents with access control and revision management for the fastest availability of up-to-date project data information from EB. In addition, all purchasing and manufacturing lists can be created and updated to ensure proper data in all associated departments at any time. This new solution automatically synchronizes catalog material information with product master data to avoid multiple data input and unnecessary errors. Furthermore, workflows can be specified individually.

"Siemens PLM Software is enthusiastic about the collaboration with Aucotec. Teamcenter values a healthy partner ecosystem, and this agreement is the first step in the development of an integrated solution that will provide added value to our mutual customers," said Eric Sterling, senior vice president, Lifecycle Collaboration Software, Siemens PLM Software.

Our customers want technology that has an open data model that will support them in the future. We are excited to work with Siemens to provide industry-leading PLM technology to our customers."
