Discover the ROI of cloud-based PLM

Calculate the value of cloud PLM with our Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study of Teamcenter X

In 2024, Siemens commissioned Forrester Consulting to bring you an in-depth look at the Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) of our cloud PLM solution, Teamcenter X. This study breaks down the numbers, diving into the cost savings, flexibility, and value Teamcenter X has brought to interviewed organizations.

What the TEI report covers

The Forrester TEI study is more than just a study—it’s a comprehensive analysis grounded in interviews with current Teamcenter X customers. Using its trusted methodology, Forrester Consulting provides a structured framework that evaluates the cost, benefit, flexibility, and risk factors involved in adopting Teamcenter X.

The TEI study includes a dynamic calculator that enables you to tailor the data to your specific organizational needs. This personalized approach reveals how cloud-based PLM can streamline processes, reduce IT burdens, and unlock advanced capabilities like artificial intelligence (AI) and photorealistic visualization.

Why cloud-based PLM?

Switching to cloud SaaS PLM, like Teamcenter X, can mean a significant reduction in operational costs and inefficiencies. It frees up your team to focus on what they do best—developing products that make an impact. Teamcenter X gives you a scalable, secure environment that’s always up to date with the latest features so you can trust that your PLM investment is future proof.
