Teamcenter is an integrated suite of Product Lifecycle Management applications originally created by EDS PLM Solutions, a company which ultimately became Siemens PLM Software.

Teamcenter's history dates to the mid-1980s, with technology and products from Control Data, SDRC and UGS.[1] Most of the original functionality of Teamcenter came from previously branded products:

  • Teamcenter Enterprise – (was Metaphase)
  • Teamcenter Engineering - (was iMAN)
  • Teamcenter Project – (was Inovie Software TeamCenter)
  • Teamcenter Requirements – (was Slate)
  • Teamcenter Visualization – (was Viz)
  • Teamcenter Manufacturing – (was the IMAN + Tecnomatix MPM suite)
  • Teamcenter Integrator
  • Teamcenter Community – (was e-Viz)[2]

In late 2006, Siemens PLM Software announced that the Teamcenter software portfolio had surpassed over 3 million licensed users.[3]
