Business Opportunities

  • Establish a centralized, validated, and fully synchronized Teamcenter instance across all customer locations.
  • Enable transition from drawing-centric current state of work to new model-centric design state of work to improve digital continuity and accelerate engineering efficiency.
  • Eliminate data chase by organizing information through A&D BOI relationships for better visibility and faster decision-making.
  • Enhance data security and compliance by embedding IP and trade control attributes during migration.

Features

  • Bulk load and delta migration approach executed using an extensible, reusable eQube® migration framework.
  • Standard eQube® connectors used to extract data from Teamcenter, Windchill, EPDM, and legacy ERP systems.
  • Upgraded existing Teamcenter data to a new, enhanced PLM model.
  • Business rule-driven transformation to resolve BOI conflicts and attribute inconsistencies.
  • Complex transformation rules applied for attributes, BOI relationships, and conflicting item ID resolution.
  • BOMs consolidated while preserving CAD data integrity across NX, Creo, and SolidWorks systems.
  • Part families migrated with data profiling and quality checks embedded into the migration flow.

eQube® Benefits

  • Zero-downtime migration executed using eQube®'s extensible migration framework.
  • Reusable migration solution design leveraged common patterns across source and destination systems.
  • Rapid deployment using eQube®-DaaS with no negative impact on downstream systems.
  • 99.5% data accuracy achieved through automated validation in migration pipelines.
  • Data anomalies identified and resolved pre-migration using eQube® Data Profiler.
  • Achieved 20X faster time-to-value (TTV) compared to manual approaches and reduced TCO 15X by retiring 13 home grown (legacy) applications.

eQ Process

  • Executed TC:TC (Teamcenter to Teamcenter) transformation and EXT:TC (External system to Teamcenter) migration across 26 A&D locations and 10 industrial locations.
  • Used eQube®-MI with reusable templates and no-code logic for bulk and delta migrations.
  • Source data processed via standard eQube® connectors from Windchill, EPDM, Teamcenter, and legacy ERPs; and loaded into target TC.
  • Used eQube®-MI with reusable templates and no-code logic for bulk and delta migrations.
  • Consolidated BOMs while preserving CAD integrity across NX, Creo, and Solidworks; transformed Part Families and attributes.
  • Resolved data quality issues and conflicting IDs through configurable mapping and BOI rules.
  • Deployed in planned waves with rollback support, ensuring zero disruption to operations.

eQube® Products Used

  • eQube®-BI, eQube®-MI, eQube®-TM, eQube®-GMP
  • eQube® Connectors: Teamcenter, Windchill, EPDM, JDBC, Sharepoint, Shared Drives
