Cloud-based collaboration

  • Next-generation, design-centric collaboration

According to industry analyst Tech-ClarityRapid, “New product development (NPD) is critical for success in the manufacturing industries, but 85% of manufacturers routinely miss their project due dates. How can manufacturers improve product development performance and more consistently hit their product development targets? We surveyed over 200 companies to find out. The results show that Top Performers, those that more frequently hit their product development targets, have better collaboration capabilities and are more likely to use the cloud for both CAD and project collaboration. It finds, however, that these Top Performers are not necessarily just using general cloud file sharing solutions like Dropbox, Drive, or OneDrive. The leaders’ cloud solutions include more design and engineering-specific collaboration capabilities.

  • Siemens anticipates and addresses the problem that:
Top performers in the area of collaboration are using more cloud-based file sharing

Collaboration capabilities

Teamcenter Share extends your engineering environment through a connected cloud-based service for fast collaboration across multiple domains and software solutions. Share's rich set of capabilities features cloud storage with desktop synchronization, secure project sharing with task management, design-centric view and markup and browser-based access. 

Secure cloud storage

Confidently save your design data to the cloud. Independently verified for data security and integrity, Share follows Siemens's security baselines and leverages leading technology for data protection and storage.  

Desktop file syncing

Sync your design data from your desktop to the cloud. Data is always available and backed up on the cloud. Share's integration with products in the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio allows you to access shared project data from, without leaving the application. 

Permission-based project sharing

Protect your intellectual property while sharing projects with customers and suppliers. Share with anyone while controlling the level of access to your designs and data. 

Engineering-centric view and markup

View, measure and mark up models in a three-dimensional, engineering-centric space. Mark ups and comments are completely traceable and available online and from within your design software. 

Augmented reality

Experience digital prototypes in real-world environments. Augmented Reality (AR) allows a design to be showcased in its intended environment from your smart device, even before it is built. 

Messaging and notifications

Communicate more efficiently with complete traceability and the ability to track issues and add commentary. Messages and notifications available in-app and via email. 

Any-device, instant-on access

Collaborate from home, the office, or in-transit with browser-based access on your phone, tablet, Chromebook, Mac, PC and more. No additional IT infrastructure required. 

Task management

Accelerate your collaboration by managing who’s doing what, by when, and in what order. Set due dates, priority, and reference project files. Individuals can communicate deliverable completion through an any-device project dashboard and intuitive Kanban boards. 

Multi-user overwrite protection

Collaborate with confidence from a single source of truth. Share allows users to synchronize files as they work, making collaboration faster and easier than ever before.  

Additional storage

The benefits of Share grow with each additional subscription. The base plan includes 500GB of storage, each additional subscription boosts online storage by 5GB. Increased storage packages up to 100TB can be purchased. 

Connection to Teamcenter

When using Teamcenter to plan, design, and share product information and processes within your company, Share securely integrates with your managed workflows to share files with collaborators outside your company.
