Boeing selects UGS lifecycle management soln

NEW DELHI: UGS
Corp., a provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and
services, today announced that Boeing,
the aerospace company, has selected its Teamcenter digital lifecycle management
solution as its enterprise data management system for future commercial
airplanes and integrated defense systems programs.



Boeing's JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) Program, which successfully
migrated all product data from multiple legacy systems to Teamcenter, is the
first to implement the new system.



Boeing chose Teamcenter because it needed an open, scalable, platform that can
be leveraged across the company and globally. A standard platform across
programs allows Boeing to enhance collaboration and effectively manage
workloads, as well as human resources, within and between programs.

Dave Fennell, vice president of IT, Boeing , said, "The broad use of
Teamcenter with 30,000 users at Commercial Airplanes on our DCAC/MRM
implementation and success on our JDAM program have shown the benefits of
Teamcenter's open platform and scalability, and reinforces our decision to make
Teamcenter Boeing's enterprise Data Management system going forward."



Boeing will continue to implement Teamcenter on upcoming projects and programs,
including at the Boeing Satellite Design Center in El Segundo, Calif., where
teams are working to implement a standard environment, and where, by the end of
2007, it will be used for all relevant satellite program data; and the
F/A-18E/F, F-15, T-45 and AV8-B programs, as well as other future programs.

Tony Affuso, chairman, CEO and president, UGS, said, "Teamcenter's open
platform enables companies to leverage their global presence to enhance process
excellence and productivity through consolidation and collaboration."
