Return on Investment
- + Siemens PLM Software, Teamcenter, has made it really easy to draw up datapacks that conform to a certain standard. These datapacks are reviewed by the right people and released for manufacture to the correct departments. The result is a product that lives up to design and quality expectations.
- - The initial capital outlay for the product is astronomical when software, server upgrades, bandwidth, and human resources are considered. The ROI on this will be many years due to lost production time, initial costs, and the ongoing cost of training and mistakes.
- - The software has resulted in a lot of confusion within the business. Many users have chosen not to use the software (although that is not allowed) because they feel they cannot deliver on the work if they do.
