Teamcenter’s strength is in coordinating data and the best feature is that it provides the truth of information.
Work flow automation has helped to minimize errors and the audit trail has helped to put into check decisions made. Among all benefits of the system, the integration with CAD tools is especially beneficial for engineering personnel.

Cons

There is need for the user interface of the site to be improved and to have more sleek appealing designs.
The software is some of the time clumsy and the search itself can be confusing. The licensing model might also be disadvantageous for extended teams that would like to implement the system step by step.

It truly became evident discernible increase of improvements with reference to data accuracy and sharing as well as cross departmental co-ordination within the first four months of using the system.
