SkyDRM for Teamcenter Ecosystem

Siemens Teamcenter is a modern and adaptable product lifecycle management (PLM) system that connects people, processes, and data across functional silos. It empowers organizations to collaborate, innovate, and manage their product lifecycle effectively, from concept to delivery.

Siemens NX is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE application. It is flexible and powerful, helping deliver better products faster using next-generation design and manufacturing solutions. NX’s flexibility allows customers to integrate it into various workflows, whether as part of the full PLM environment or as a standalone tool.

Siemens NX and Teamcenter are closely integrated to enhance engineering design, collaboration, and product lifecycle management. Other major CAD/CAM/CAE applications, like Creo, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD, also integrate closely with Teamcenter. Together, they form a powerful Teamcenter ecosystem, enabling efficient design collaboration, data management, and streamlined product development.

Companies use the Teamcenter ecosystem to collaborate with external suppliers and partners or can use NX as standalone tool. This elevates the importance of data security and digital rights management (DRM) in Teamcenter and CAD tools so that intellectual property is not compromised by external suppliers or partners, licenses and contracts are not breached, company and customer confidential data is not lost due to wrongful disclosure or stolen devices, and insiders do not leak data. Organizations need to share the data for collaboration and business agility but must use DRM to protect data to reduce risk and strengthen governance & compliance.

SkyDRM integrates with Siemens Teamcenter and CAD tools to bring DRM functionality to protect data within Teamcenter as well as protect data automatically when the data is downloaded  or checked out from Teamcenter. SkyDRM integrates with NX, Solid Edge, Creo, SolidWorks, Catia, AutoCAD, MicroStation, and many more design tools through the Rights Management Extension framework (RMXs) to allow authorized users to open, view, or modify DRM-protected files in Teamcenter using native CAD/CAM/CAE software, providing seamless access to rich collaboration capabilities within the native application. Protected data can also be accessed via a Teamcenter Rich Application Client (RAC), Active Workspace Client (AWC), and in a multi-CAD environment. SkyDRM for Teamcenter ecosystem is an end-to-end solution to secure Teamcenter and engineering data through its lifecycle – whether it is at rest, in use, or in motion.

Key Features

Automated Rights Protection

Sensitive documents and files are encrypted and tagged automatically without the need for manual intervention, ensuring that users cannot inadvertently share restricted intellectual property with unauthorized users.

Dynamic Access and Usage Controls

Attribute-based policies dynamically grant access, allowing organizations to granularly specify and control a user’s authorization, including restricting access to portions of the document; controlling print, copy, save as, edit, or extraction rights; enforcing time-based access; applying dynamic watermarks; and preventing screen capture.

Supported File Formats

Digital rights protection can be applied to any file type, including 2D and 3D CAD models, source code, PRT, DWG, GIF, JPEG, and Adobe and Microsoft Office documents.

Multiple Supported Client Types

Users can access the solution from a variety of client types – CAD/CAM/CAE software applications, rich desktop clients, web browsers, mobile apps, SkyDRM’s web and desktop viewers, as well as with offline access.

Centralized Visibility

Through centralized activity tracking and logging, data owners have full visibility into how their data is being shared, accessed, and used.

Apply Multiple Labels

Multiple labels can be applied to protected files.

Apply Multiple Policies

Multiple policies are dynamically evaluated and applied to each document, reducing the number of policies that need to be authored and maintained.

Integrations

Protected files can be accessed in Teamcenter with NX, Creo, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA, Solid Edge, and MicroStation.

Native Application Support

Works natively with any authoring tools and viewers out of the box, including 30+ CAD tools and applications like SAP 3D VE Viewer, Rhino, Inventor, Adobe Creating Suite, Creo View, and more.

Cross Domain Policy via Federated Identity

Policies defined in SkyDRM can incorporate identity information from multiple identity providers, allowing user identities to be managed in and policies to be applied across multiple domains.

Identity Provider Agnostic

Works with many identity providers (IDPs), allowing users to authenticate with multiple methods and/or services.  Integrates seamlessly with IDPs supporting SAML, OAUTH2, LDAP, and more.
