Teamcenter Implementation, Migration and Integration.

Three jobs on Teamcenter. We implement it, with Active Workspace set up around how your engineers work. We move product data into it or out of it with structures and history intact. And we connect it to the systems around it, on frameworks we built and maintain.

  • 30+ PLM migration programmes
  • 2B+ records migrated
  • NX, Creo, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS
  • ISO 27001 certified

What we do on Teamcenter

Three Jobs. Find Yours.

Every Teamcenter programme we take on is one of these, or a mix of them. Each has its own section below and its own service page.

  1. 01

    Implementation

    Teamcenter configured to how your engineers work, and still easy to upgrade.

    You are here if

    • You are rolling out Teamcenter, or taking it to a new site or programme
    • You are moving users from the rich client to Active Workspace
    • Past customisation makes every upgrade a project of its own
    How we implementImplementation services

  2. 02

    Data Migration

    Product data into Teamcenter, or out of it, with CAD, structures and history intact.

    You are here if

    • You are consolidating Windchill, ENOVIA, Vault, SmarTeam or a home-grown system into Teamcenter
    • You are leaving Teamcenter for Aras, 3DEXPERIENCE or Windchill
    • You have to prove to engineering, and to an auditor, that nothing was lost

  3. 03

    Integration

    Teamcenter exchanging parts, BOMs, documents and changes with the systems that act on them.

    You are here if

    • A released change still reaches ERP by email, spreadsheet or re-keying
    • Your interfaces are custom code nobody wants to touch before an upgrade
    • A failed exchange is found by the plant, not by an alert

Implementation

Configure First. Write Code Only Where Configuration Ends.

Every customisation in Teamcenter is a cost you pay again at the next upgrade. So we fit it to your process with configuration wherever Teamcenter allows, and keep the code small and documented where it doesn’t.

How the phases work

The migration risk

A Migration Can Load Without Errors and Still Be Wrong.

Teamcenter data is not rows in a table. It is items and revisions, BOM views that tie them into assemblies, datasets holding the CAD, and the statuses that say what was released. A load can accept every record and still break the links between them.

The load log counts records. Reconciliation checks the engineering.

Data migration, on the framework

Six Stages. The Last One Proves the Rest.

Every run goes through the same six stages, configured for your source and for your Teamcenter data model. Problems are found and fixed before the data lands, and the result is reconciled record by record.

  1. Extract

    Is the right data coming out?

    • Items, BOMs and documents
    • CAD files and datasets
    • API, database, files or custom

  2. Transform

    Did it change as expected?

    • Mapped to your BMIDE types
    • Revision schemes adapted
    • Statuses mapped

  3. Validate

    Will Teamcenter accept it?

    • Naming and numbering rules
    • Required properties and lists
    • Duplicate item IDs

  4. Correct

    Fixed before it lands?

    • Missing and invalid values
    • Broken links rebuilt
    • Revisions renumbered

  5. Load

    In the right order?

    • Items before structures
    • BOM views and datasets
    • Delta loads for cutover

  6. Reconcile

    Does it match?

    • Record-level counts and deltas
    • Structures and files
    • Every exception, listed

What you decide, not the tool

  • Selective or big bang
  • Full history or latest release
  • Phased or single cutover
  • Teamcenter as source or target
  • Controlled access for ITAR & EAR data
  • Revision scheme kept or adapted

The integration risk

The Costly Integration Failure Is the Silent One.

A change notice is released in Teamcenter. The BOM update never reaches ERP, and nobody is told. It surfaces weeks later, when the plant builds the previous revision.

Integration, on the framework

Every Exchange Goes Through One Place You Can See.

Teamcenter connects once, to the framework. Each exchange is a configured flow: picked up, checked, mapped to the other system’s model and delivered, with every run recorded.

Runs as a Docker container, in your environment or hosted by SteepGraph.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We implement and extend Teamcenter: Active Workspace, the BMIDE data model, change and workflow processes, BOM structures and multi-CAD with NX, Creo, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS. The work runs through our six phases, Discover, Design, Build, Quality, Deploy and Support.

That is what we design for. We use configuration wherever Teamcenter allows it, because configuration moves with an upgrade. Where code is genuinely needed, we keep it small, separate from the configuration and documented, so the upgrade team knows exactly what to retest.

Yes. We set up workspaces, pages and commands by role, and plan the move as a change your engineers have to adopt, not a new screen switched on for everyone on the same day.

No. Rabbit is built for Aras Innovator and does not run on Teamcenter. On Teamcenter, migration and integration run on our platform-independent Data Migration and Integration Frameworks.

Windchill, Pro/INTRALINK, 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA, SOLIDWORKS PDM, Autodesk Vault, SmarTeam, Oracle PLM, Documentum, and legacy or home-grown systems. Data comes out through an API, the database, files and reports, or custom extraction, whichever the source allows.

Yes. Teamcenter is a source as well as a target for the Data Migration Framework, with Aras Innovator, 3DEXPERIENCE and Windchill among the targets.

Data-quality rules run before and after the load, and every run ends with a reconciliation of source against target: record-level counts and deltas, structures, files, and a list of every exception. You sign off on that report, not on a load log.

Yes. We have migrated ITAR and EAR controlled data, with access restricted to authorised personnel on both the source and the target side.

ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, IFS and Odoo; ALM tools including Jira, Azure DevOps, Polarion and ClickUp; EPLAN for ECAD; and anything reachable over REST, SOAP, a database, a message queue or the file system.

It is caught, not lost. The Integration Framework records every run, raises an alert on a failure, retries where that is safe, and keeps an audit log, so your team sees the problem before anyone downstream does.
