Projects

Structure through implementation standards

PLM-Projects kosten Zeit, Geld und interne Aufmerksamkeit. Gerade deshalb braucht es keine aufgeblähten Konzepte, künstlich lang gezogene Analysisn oder unrealistischen Aufwandsschätzungen. Entscheidend sind ein klarer Blick auf die Ausgangslage, kurze Abstimmungswege, saubere Prozesse, belastbare Dokumentation und eine Zusammenarbeit, die sich an den tatsächlichen Bedürfnissen des Kunden orientiert.

1

Understand

Assess Teamcenter, customizations, CAD integration, interfaces, risks, and dependencies. The goal is a realistic and reliable assessment of the current situation as a basis for sound decisions.

2

Structure

Durch einen langjährig erprobten Implementations-Standard werden Sauberkeit, Stabilität und Nachvollziehbarkeit von Beginn an im Projekt verankert. Technische Entscheidungen, Konfigurationen, Abläufe und Dokumentation folgen dabei einer klaren Structure. Das reduziert unnötige Komplexität, schafft Transparenz und sorgt dafür, dass Lösungen nicht nur kurzfristig funktionieren, sondern auch langfristig wartbar und verständlich bleiben.

3

Deliver

Prepare, deliver, test, and document planned measures in a controlled way — whether updates, optimization, extensions, or integration. The focus is on traceability, stability, and an approach that fits the customer’s actual needs.

4

Stabilize

After go-live, stable day-to-day operation matters most: knowledge transfer, documentation, direct support, and clean operations.

Service focus

Precise. Efficient. Personal.

The core principle becomes practical project delivery. The focus is on Siemens Teamcenter, CAD and interfaces, existing system landscapes, and solutions that remain stable and traceable over the long term.

Precise

Saubere Structureen, nachvollziehbare Entscheidungen und technische Qualität, die Vertrauen schafft – gerade dort, wo Details über Stabilität entscheiden.

Efficient

Good solutions do not have to be complicated. Clear standards, thorough preparation, and pragmatic processes prevent costly loops and ensure systems simply work.

Personal

Direkt und transparent, mit kurzen Wegen und einem realistischen Blick auf Projects. Denn erfolgreiche Projects brauchen mehr als Technik: klare Kommunikation, kurze Abstimmungswege und echtes Verständnis für die Menschen und ihre Aufgaben machen den Unterschied.

CAD

Managed CAD.

CAD delivers its full value when models, drawings, metadata, and approvals work together cleanly. That is why CAD is not treated in isolation, but across the full process — from the origin of the data to downstream systems.

  • CAD integration in Teamcenter environments
  • Datenqualität, Metadaten und klare Structureierung
  • Approvals, revisions, and drawing processes
  • Support for all compatible CAD systems
  • Data migration

About

Teamcenter-Projects brauchen Erfahrung – und einen realistischen Blick.

Ich bin Michael Schmid (Mike), Gründer von PLM Expert Solutions. Ich bringe 25+ years Professional experience as user, admin, and solution architect mit, davon since 2010 im PLM-Umfeld und 25+ years CAD-Erfahrung. Mein Schwerpunkt liegt auf Siemens Teamcenter – von Solution Architektur über Implementierung, Konfiguration und Customizing bis zu Administration, CAD/ERP-Integration und kontrollierten Updates.

I know both sides: as a project manager and lead solution architect on the reseller side, and through many years of direct customer work. This is complemented by hands-on experience in workflows, change and maturity management, data model customization with BMIDE, T4S/T4EA, programming in .NET — C# / SQL, Oracle / XML / HTML / JS, SOA interfaces, ITK handlers, ASP.NET websites, Windows infrastructure, and technical documentation. I spent 11 years of my professional career in Switzerland and moved confidently in international project environments — technically clear, personally direct, and strongly focused on clean, traceable, and maintainable solutions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A few topics that usually come up quickly in initial conversations.

What kinds of companies do you work with?

The focus is on small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in the SME sector with established Teamcenter environments. For larger projects or organizations, collaboration with equally experienced partners and system houses is possible, ensuring that even more extensive projects can be implemented reliably.

What types of projects do you support?

The spectrum ranges from new implementations, updates, and upgrades to the stabilization of existing systems. Particularly common are mature or heavily customized Teamcenter environments, older versions, or systems where structures, processes, and integrations need to be reestablished in a clean and stable manner. We also have extensive experience with system recovery and critical total failures.

How does the collaboration typically work?

Direct, structured, and with short communication paths. First understand, then set priorities, and then deliver cleanly. Collaboration is flexible — primarily remote from Munich — and in both German and English.

How long does a typical project take?

The project duration depends on the initial situation, complexity, and scope. In many cases, medium-sized Teamcenter update projects can be implemented within approximately three to four months until go-live. An essential part of this is a sufficiently planned testing and validation phase on the customer side.

Can larger or highly specialized tasks also be covered?

Yes. If needed, a network of equally experienced resellers, system integrators, and specialized service providers can be involved. This makes it possible to deliver even larger initiatives with clear technical leadership and personal accountability.

What does the collaboration cost and how is it billed?

Billing is transparent and based on time and materials, with monthly timesheet verification. The daily rate depends on the task, technical depth, and scope. In terms of price, PLM Expert Solutions is generally below the level of traditional reseller structures. For customers, this creates a predictable and transparent budget basis—with a high level of technical depth, without the costs of large consulting organizations.

Is working with a freelancer risky for companies?

The collaboration is based on a solid foundation: a broad customer portfolio from various industries, many years of project experience, and partnerships with established system houses and PLM resellers. In addition, professional IT liability insurance is in place. In the event of a prolonged absence, reliable partner and representation structures can be called upon if necessary. This ensures that the collaboration remains flexible without compromising on reliability and security.
