UGS and A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions Announce Sourcing Community Powered By Teamcenter(R)
: "International Supply Management
Conference -- UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle
management (PLM) software and services, and A.T. Kearney Procurement
Solutions, offering leading strategic sourcing services, today announced the
availability of Sourcing Community, the latest release of product lifecycle
sourcing solutions powered by UGS' Teamcenter(R) software. Sourcing Community
combines web-based RFx (Request for Proposal, Request for Information, etc.)
and sourcing survey capabilities with Teamcenter knowledge management and
collaboration solutions to further integrate the sourcing and change
management processes.
UGS and A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions are demonstrating the new
technology at the International Supply Management (ISM) Conference on May 8-10
in San Antonio, Texas. The announcement represents the strategic next step in
the extension of Teamcenter PLM technology to support the needs of business
users.
UGS considers the expansion of PLM to unite both product development and
business data and processes as core to their product strategy. The company
has partnered with A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions, a Strategic Partner in
the UGS Partner Program, to jointly develop the Sourcing Community solution,
which will be delivered to customers directly through UGS' direct channel and
through A.T. Kearney's strategic sourcing activities.
Sourcing Community combines sourcing with collaboration and product data
management (PDM), to provide one window access to sourcing and product data to
all stakeholders in the supply chain, increasing sourcing productivity,
compressing sourcing cycle time and enabling early supplier involvement to
design the cost out of products.
'The joint development of the Sourcing Community solution by A.T. Kearney
Procurement Solutions provides us with a key validation of the wide use of
Teamcenter for a variety of business uses,' said Raj Khoshoo, vice president
of strategic initiatives, UGS. 'More importantly, by providing this
integration on the Sourcing Community platform we have enabled collaboration,
program management and seamless integration with office tools, all provided on
the familiar Microsoft desktop to ensure usability by business users with
minimal training.'" ¶ 07:12
