Teamcenter X vs Teamcenter? Saildrone chooses the cloud
Teamcenter X vs Teamcenter?
It’s a simple choice of cloud SaaS delivery.
Siemens Xcelerator customers like Saildrone gain access to the full Teamcenter product lifecycle management (PLM) portfolio with the advantages of SaaS by choosing Teamcenter X vs Teamcenter.
“Our products have become more complex and managing that has necessitated having better 3D CAD and PLM. Our primary focus is engineering — building new products, making our drones and our mission services better — not having to manage and update an on-premise server.
We decided to adopt Siemens Xcelerator as a Service solutions because we’re a cloud first company. With a lightweight IT and DevOps team, Siemens’ expertise and its Teamcenter X infrastructure scales well with our company. It’s been great having the bulk of the Teamcenter X configuration just set up out of the box.”

Why Teamcenter X?
Watch this video to see why Saildrone’s small IT team chose Teamcenter X, which is Teamcenter on the cloud, operated by Siemens.
Saildrone uses Teamcenter capabilities to collaborate across mechanical and electronic design.
- Bill of material (BOM) management, classification
- Change process managemen
- PLM integrations with NX and Altium
“We chose Teamcenter X because it’s very important to have a single source of truth for engineering, especially being a small startup, we really wanted to have an industry respected solution that large companies and small companies rely on. We have had great success getting adoption and use throughout the company.
Manufacturing uses it for purchasing and building of our components in our drones, then our finance and G&A teams also use it to track inventory. Having Teamcenter X integrate with our other back-end systems has been really important.”
Andrew Schultz, Chief Technology Officer, Saildrone
