Move into the SaaS lane with Teamcenter X
As cloud computing shifts into high gear, we are quickly seeing the widespread adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) across industries – among businesses large and small.
Indeed, SaaS is revolutionizing how businesses operate and compete. If you have been hesitant or reluctant to adopt a SaaS solution, perhaps now is the time to reconsider your options.
Why now?
The simple answer is many of the best and most successful software solutions from Siemens are now available as SaaS offerings. The strategic collaboration betweenSiemens and Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings exclusive products and services to market and removes the traditional barriers teams might encounter as they transition to a digital enterprise. Among the many Siemens SaaS offerings is the leading PLM software, Teamcenter called“Teamcenter X.”
What makes Teamcenter X so special?
Teamcenter X handles the burden of operating, managing and securing operations throughout the entire PLM environment. This is a critical advantage as it frees organizations to be more innovative, agile and creative. Teams can focus on what they were hired to do. They are free to think out of the box and innovate not only within the team, but across domains and disciplines.
Teamcenter X highlights include:
- Fast SaaS PLM – your fast track to digital transformation:With built-in best practices and reduced cost of ownership, Teamcenter X allows teams to get up and running in the cloud quickly. All operations, maintenance and updates are performed by Siemens and AWS.
- Grows with you:Teamcenter X delivers the full Teamcenter PLM portfolio. Get started with what you neednowand add more users or capabilities when the need arises.
- Resides on a secure cloud platform:The Teamcenter X platform is always up to date, ensuring the highest levels of protection for data, while enhancing an organization’s operational resilience. By leveraging the Teamcenter X secure cloud infrastructure, users reduce energy usage and lower their carbon footprint, making it a sustainable choice that aligns with an organization’s environmental goals.
The Siemens and AWS collaboration presents one of the easiest ways to transition operations to the cloud. Imagine what the partnership between a top global tech company and the leading cloud services provider could do for you?
The value-add of Teamcenter X on AWS Cloud
Because Teamcenter X is hosted onAWS Cloud, there are many substantial advantages that only Siemens and AWS can offer:
-Shattering the “lack of security” myth:There’s always some resistance among customers (especially SMBs) when moving operations to the cloud because of where sensitive data will be stored.AWS securityis always a top priority. In fact, AWS Cloud has been architected to be the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment on the market today. The AWS core infrastructure is built to satisfy the secure requirements for defense, global banks and other high sensitivity organizations. AWS service offerings and associate supply chains are vetted and accepted as secure for top secret operability.
-Hackers be afraid… Be very afraid:Scammers, phishers or any person with malicious intent can usually find a server somewhere to hack whether it is in the cloud or on-prem. AWS has a dedicated team of engineers and investigators who build algorithms and mechanisms to proactively detect and prevent misuse of all cloud services. It is a 24/7 operation and AWS responds quickly whenever a suspicious activity is brought to their attention.
-Resiliency like you have never seen before:AWS offers unprecedented resiliency on the cloud because the entire infrastructure is managed byAWS services. This infrastructure comprises hardware, software, networking and facilities. The AWS Global cloud infrastructure is designed to enable customers to build highly resilient workload architectures. Also, each AWS region is fully isolated and consists of multiple availability zones. Availability zones isolate faults that could impact workload resilience, preventing a fault from impacting other zones in the same region. All zones in an AWS region are interconnected with high-bandwidth and low-latency networking on fully redundant dedicated fiber. This in turn, provides high-throughput, low-latency networking between availability zones. All traffic between zones is encrypted.
-Reliability you can count on: One of the pillars of theAWS well-architected framework可靠性——的能力p的工作量吗erform its intended function correctly and consistently. Some of the built-in design principles to ensure business reliability include: automatically recovering from failure; scaling horizontally to increase aggregate workload availability; and measured capacity when needed. This last principle addresses a common cause of failure and on-premises workloads, which is resource saturation when the demands placed on a workload exceed the capacity of that workload. Users can monitor demand and workload utilization and automate the addition or removal of resources.
-Agility to grow and succeed:AWS allows customers to quickly ramp-up resources as needed. Manufacturers for example, can quickly develop and roll out new applications and teams can experiment and innovate more quickly and frequently. If an experiment fails, teams can always deprovision those resources without risk.
-Elasticity to tap into the power of the cloud:As mentioned earlier, in the past, customers used to overprovision IT infrastructure just to ensure that they had enough capacity to handle their business operations at peak activity level. This was often guesswork and required purchasing unused capacity. With AWS, users can provision what they actually need, knowing that they can instantly scale up or down with the needs of their business.
-Of course, cost savings in both ownership and in operations:AWS allows customers to trade capital expense for variable expense – users only pay for what they consume. With AWS, the variable expense is much lower than what SMBs can typically do themselves. Because of economies of scale, this especially aligned with manufacturers. AWS is moving fixed costs to variable costs – critical to keeping the operating model flexible relative to demand. SaaS not only gets users started fast, but also shifts the IT burden. With SaaS, Siemens takes the burden of managing the software, hardware, security, maintenance and even the upgrades/updates.
