Customer background and project summary
The client, an aerospace company, partnered with Applied CAx during a critical system transition. Originally implemented by a previous provider, the Teamcenter environment required a major upgrade and strategic overhaul. Applied CAx successfully led the migration of the system off-premises to a secure U.S. GovCloud instance, ensuring full ITAR compliance while maintaining operational integrity and meeting the rigorous demands of the aerospace industry.
Summary
Challenge:
- In the midst of system transition
- Migrating to secure U.S. GovCloud instance to ensure full ITAR compliance
- Upgrading Teamcenter for more efficacy
Solution:
- Upgraded Teamcenter
- System migration to secure U.S. GovCloud instance
- Expert services from Applied CAx
Impact:
- Successfully migrated Teamcenter to a secure GovCloud environment with minimal disruption to ensure full ITAR compliance.
- Established a reliable and scalable PLM backbone for a highly regulated aerospace engineering organization.
- Positioned company for future expansion of program-level capabilities, analytics, and integrated design workflows.
Project objectives
Applied CAx was engaged to transition the client’s existing Teamcenter implementation to a secure and scalable cloud infrastructure. As part of the engagement, the team provided ongoing managed service support to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. Functional capabilities were expanded through advanced reporting tools and planning for future program management. Additionally, ECAD integration was implemented to align the digital thread across mechanical and electrical domains, supporting greater cross-discipline collaboration and data continuity.
Highlights:
- Transition existing Teamcenter implementation to secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.
- Provide managed service support for day-to-day operations.
- Expand functional capabilities through advanced reporting and future program management.
- Enable digital thread alignment across mechanical and electrical domains via ECAD integration.
Project activity highlights
Applied CAx re-architected the client’s Teamcenter infrastructure and successfully migrated the system to an ITAR-compliant U.S. GovCloud environment. A managed services support model was established to ensure system reliability, handle user management, and manage regular updates. As the client’s needs evolved, Applied CAx provided ongoing configuration and enhancement work to support expanded usage and continued system optimization.
Teamcenter Reporting & Analytics was also integrated to deliver key operational and project insights. Custom reports were developed to support engineering, compliance, and management, while the system was prepped for future use of Schedule Manager and Program Management modules.
Capital and NX was integrated to enable connected electro-mechanical design and maintain alignment between schematics, harnesses, and 3D CAD models.
