Add-on to Teamcenter Engineering or Teamcenter Enterprise puts the brakes on runaway product development costs

Failure to understand project requirements results in runaway costs 70 percent of the time. Requirements trapped in isolated spreadsheets are difficult to communicate and quickly fall out-of-date. New customer demands get lost in the process. Last-minute attempts to align changing market needs with your engineering designs and manufacturing plans cause your development costs to soar.

It’s too late to slow down an out-of-control product development project once your engineering and manufacturing teams lose touch. Teamcenter® solution for integrated requirements management enables you to share the latest requirements with every program stakeholder and communicate change as an integral part of your product development process.
