Challange of Teamcenter implementation @MTU
Targets of the TC implementation project:
• Consolidation of system landscape for product lifecycle data and configuration
management
• Shutdown of 6 legacy systems
• Integration of systems based on improved processes in development, testing and
manufacturing
„The introduction of Teamcenter @ MTU was a
big step foreward towards consolidation of our
IT – landscape“

Status mid of 2009: Need for improvements
• Highly customized TC Enterprise web-client
• Highly customized TC Engineering client
• High efforts to migrate TC Engineering, NX and
Enterprise to the latest major releases
• High efforts for testing, integration and
deployment of even small changes
• Lack in usability of the TC Enterprise web-client
(many complains by users)
System architecture in 2010

Features:
• Navigation similar to Explorer
• Standard functionality like Excel
• Personalization and layout functionalities
• Easier and faster to use
• Rapid change cycles provided by IT
• “state of the art” user interface
• Provision of customized Cockpits for specific
user groups

Highlight: Analysing Performance in TC Enterprise
• Impelenting Instumentation close to the client
• Duration of any action of any user is measured and
stored in a data base (anonymously)
• Detailed analysis of any function permanantly possible
• reliable performance – KPIs, generated automatically in
the field

Teamcenter architecture 2011 and next steps
• Replace Teamcenter Global Services by a
SOA connector
• Upgrade of NX 6 to NX8
• Migrate Teamcenter Engineering to UA
“Teamcenter 8.3”
• Migrate Teamcenter Enterprise to UA:
• not with a Big Bang!!! but …
• Extend Cockpits to UA (and other systems?)
• use Cockpits as “Virtualization Layer” to
separate users from core systems
• migrate functionality & user groups in small
packages High Level System architecture
Thank you for your attention!
