With Teamcenter® Supplier Collaboration, you can extend your product lifecycle management (PLM) processes and data to your non-Teamcenter suppliers efficiently through real process integration. You can collaborate with your suppliers through interactions including Design Data Exchange, Direct Materials Sourcing, and Supplier Program Management all using the same PLM supplier collaboration foundation. Collaborating with your extended supplier teams is made easy with an intuitive supplier portal to receive requests and submit responses.
An important feature of Supplier Collaboration is the Teamcenter database, which contains all of the knowledge required for collaboration, including suppliers’ profiles, projects, access rules, contexts in which they work and data formats they can access. With Supplier Collaboration, you will be able to shorten the time that it takes to start sharing information with your suppliers. In turn, your suppliers will realize low overhead and low-cost methods for collaborating with you in a compliant and efficient manner.
