Looking for Best possible way of Windchill-Teamcenter Integration

[Devidas]

We are planning to integrate Windchill system with Teamcenter Enterprise. As per PTC Sales need to buy Windchill external licenses for each user to integrate this systems, which is not feasible at this moment due to project budget limitation.

I am looking for possible ways or scenario of integration in which we don't need to buy the licenses.

Any suggestion will be more helpful.

Thanks,
Devidas

Which way are you trying to push/pull information?  PTC Navigate licenses can be purchased in an "Active Daily User" license model that allows the licenses to be shared among many different users (but only one unique user per 24 hour period per license.)  These licenses also allow you to use ThingWorx to connect to other systems in order to present combined data to the end user in a single interface.  Might be worth at least looking at.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for reply. I am not sure how much PTC Navigate will help in this integration but will try to check more details.

we have developed one internal tool (standalone application) which is used to link teamcenter items (Like WTPart in windchill) to other PDM system objects. Also this application allows to sync attributes, perform basic PDM operations (Check-out, check-in, Revise, Promote,...etc) from Teamcenter to PDM system and vice versa. As only limited set of people will use this application to link objects. Other users will use the related systems to search that object data.

Our overall objective is to reduce user effort to update data in 2 systems and synchronization of data will happen in background by integration app.
