What people say
“Managing the data and status of many projects was proving too difficult using file based systems, but Teamcenter Rapid Start has helped us to be more focussed, share information more easily and ensure everyone is using the correct information. Knowing that Teamcenter works well with most CAD formats means that we are not locked in to a single CAD solution. Rapid Start gave us the foundation to hit the ground running, with the pre-configured options, but also peace of mind that we can easily customise what we need and expand our solution should the need arise. The new Active Workspace offers a new level of functionality, with its user friendliness and ability to interact with Teamcenter, participate in workflows, etc, all from within you CAD session interface.”
