Insight or Teamcenter
Insight or Teamcenter
(OP)
We are looking to implement a new file management system. We have approximately 30 SE users, and we also have multiple foreign businesses that we would like to share files with easily. We are currently running V20, but hopefully we will upgrade to ST5 in the near future. Insight looks to be great for the file managment, and TeamCenter looks like it is a beefed up Insight, capable of managing the Design process, New Product, PPA's ECO, ECR's etc. Our current system for routing projects is also being looked at for replacemnt, so I think it would be possible to just implement Teamcenter and call it good for everyone. I am looking to get as much information as I can from people that are currently using 1 or both of these. Any recommendations would be great.

Insight and Insight XT have more flexible licensing then Teamcenter which gets expensive quick.

2 - I am trying to find out whether Insight or Insight SP (former XT) can fill our needs, since I hear that Teamcenter is a lot more hassle to implement. Am I right?
RE: Insight or Teamcenter
File Manager = Files are the focus, so a model file of item "Part A" is in no way related to the Word based spec sheet on item "Part A", and the individual revisions of these documents are not related to each other. Essentially there is no relationship between the possible many documents that may describe item "Part A".
Item Manager = "Items" are the focus meaning there is an item object called "Part A" which has descriptive attributes but is not a file. This "Item" can stand alone without any document to describe it, but often has one or more documents that are attached to it via a parent/child relationship (3D model, drawing, inspection report, RFQ, vendor spec sheet, etc...). The Item then is what is revised any time anything under it needs modified, so if I need to change the 3D model, I revise the Item which makes a copy of the model and ups the revision of the Item.

Say, compared to Teamcenter. We already have Solid Edge, are looking for a PLM-system.
The supplier only wants to sell Teamcenter and has very little information about Solid Edge Insight SP.
RE: Insight or Teamcenter
As far as Teamcenter or Insight, well that depends on your requirements and what you expect to accomplish with PLM.

If we choose Insight SP we need to do the installation ourselves, since the reseller only focuses on Teamcenter. Does anyone have an idea of how difficult that would be?

"I would push your reseller to log an IR with Siemens asking for information on deploying SESP." - What is an IR? Is it not sufficient with the Solid Edge SharePoint
Implementation Guide or the GTAC step by step how to?
A short question:
Does Solid Edge Insight SP support organizing of items/parts which are not modeled in Solid Edge?
E.g. cables that we do not want to make a 3D drawing of, but we buy them and therefore want to have them in the BOM.
