How well do you know your product?

Teamcenter Structure Management integrates the full scope of your product definition from concept through production

Your business, no matter what its size or industry, creates and maintains a digital representation for every one of the products that you design, manufacture, sell or service. A digital product structure is a central part of your company’s data and processes, and it touches nearly everyone in your company. As such, the product structure must be quickly understood by all your departments, provide comprehensive coverage for authoring and configuration, and be flexible enough to handle multi-domain data.

Your company must also consider how a structure performs at scale. Structures vary from small and simple to large, complex programs, and the structure management solution you employ needs to be robust enough to satisfy the wide-ranging needs of a broad set of company disciplines.
