SDRC TeamCenter™ Gains Early AdoptersTeamCenter rapidly gaining momentum as industry's first
web-native, collaborative product management solution CINCINNATI-July 18, 2001-SDRC (Nasdaq: SDRC) today announced that its TeamCenter™ web-native, collaborative product management solution has gained significant traction in the marketplace since its launch at the company's Collaborative Product Management Symposium in May. TeamCenter is being deployed at a number of early-adopter, recognized market leaders - including Andrew Corporation, Fluke Corporation and Fujitec America - enabling their virtual enterprises to collaborate in order to bring new products to market faster, better and with less cost. These companies will be using varying functionality of TeamCenter such as:
"We are continually looking for ways to realize specific, measurable benefits in our engineering processes," said Dennis DeVos, president, Fujitec, America. "SDRC's TeamCenter solution will allow us to gain efficiencies and time savings that we can take directly to the bottom line - reductions in unbilled overtime and in meetings enabling more time for productive activities, improved project communication and improved project visibility. By implementing TeamCenter, we're estimating significant savings in field payroll alone." TeamCenter is the only web-native solution that unites the critical technologies essential for collaboratively managing all aspects of creating products: requirements, designs, configurations, documents, and related business information. Based on Sun Microsystem's Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), the recognized standard for today's Internet-based e-business framework, TeamCenter fully embraces the web for managing the product lifecycle and is the first CAD-neutral, product-centric collaborative product management solution in the industry. "Aberdeen finds that SDRC's new corporate strategy clearly positions them in the CPC market space," said Jack Maynard, research director, Aberdeen Group. "Their new collaborative architecture has the potential to deliver on the promise of what PDM was meant to be and to deliver this value beyond the engineering community to all constituents involved in the product lifecycle.""TeamCenter is a revolutionary step forward for SDRC and for the market," said Bill Weyand, chairman and CEO, SDRC. "We've already seen a great deal of enthusiasm from customers as evidenced by our first month of TeamCenter early adopters. It becomes clearer every day that TeamCenter is exactly the type of product needed in a competitive product development environment to enable global manufacturers to drastically reduce time-to-market and costs, increase quality, and meet even the most demanding business objectives in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market. We are committed to driving business value for our customers."
