    Leave the Car, Take the Concierge with You: Mercedes-Benz Launches New Version of mbrace Mobile ApplicationMercedes Continues to Innovate with New Convenience and Location-Based Services

    MONTVALE, N.J., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- As consumers increasingly turn to mobile devices to manage their lives from wherever they are, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) has introduced an upgraded version of its mbrace telematics platform that connects the in-car navigation system in its vehicles with drivers' iPhones. Developed by its partner Hughes Telematics, Inc. (HTI), the new mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 allows Mercedes-Benz customers to take their mbrace services with them when they leave their vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is the first manufacturer to extend connected services in this way.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100806/NY47302LOGO )

    The mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 builds on the automotive industry's first fully integrated smartphone application which was launched by Mercedes-Benz and HTI in November 2009. That application allows customers to use their phones to unlock their vehicles, locate their vehicles in crowded parking lots, and find nearby or preferred dealers among other services. Version 2.0 includes all of those features and also allows customers to seamlessly access Mercedes-Benz Concierge services while away from the vehicle. The concierge can access the caller's location information to deliver relevant entertainment recommendations, restaurant locations, directions, traffic updates and more. Requested destination information can then be sent directly from the concierge to an in-vehicle navigation system.

    The new application also allows users to save multiple accounts in the log-in screen and assign nicknames, making it simple and quick to access multiple mbrace accounts from one device.

    "Version 2.0 of the mbrace Mobile Application takes the convenience and connectivity of mbrace further than ever before, allowing customers to access connected services anywhere, anytime," said Sascha Simon, who heads up advanced product planning for MBUSA. "Imagine you're away from your car talking on your iPhone to Mercedes-Benz Concierge. The agent can provide you with a great restaurant suggestion and simultaneously send the destination both to your iPhone and into your car. That's what makes the system so great: the flexible architecture allows us to continually add new features as mobile technology evolves, keeping us on the cutting edge of innovation and connected services for our customers. This latest mobile application is a perfect example of that, and we will continue to add more features and connectivity on an ongoing basis."

    In addition to the new mobile concierge service, Roadside Assistance on the iPhone also has been enhanced with the mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 so that when a call is initiated, the customer's location information is transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance Center, allowing for more efficient and accurate service in the time of need. In instances when the vehicle may not be accessible, may not have power, or is in an unknown location, the mobile application allows Mercedes-Benz to help their customers by pinpointing exactly where to send assistance.

    As the first automaker to offer a mobile application truly integrated with the vehicle, MBUSA continues to be an industry leader in bringing new connected technology to market. For customers on-the-go, the mbrace Mobile Application provides simple and seamless connectivity to the ever-expanding set of Mercedes-Benz mbrace services.

    "Mercedes-Benz mbrace was designed as a platform for continuous innovation," said Erik Goldman, president, HTI. "The release of mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 extends new services beyond the vehicle, giving Mercedes-Benz customers the freedom to seamlessly enjoy personalized service even when they're not in the driver's seat. We look forward to working with Mercedes to continue expansion of the mbrace Mobile Application service and feature set, enabling enhanced connectivity and interaction between the mobile device and vehicle."

    Hubble Telescope Service Mission Featured in 'Hubble 3D' IMAX Movie Aided By Timken(R) Precision Bearings

    CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- In May of 2009, when the future of the Hubble space telescope was hinging on delicate repairs performed by NASA astronauts using ATK's Mini Power Tool, ATK turned to a trusted source for precision components required for the job. Now ATK and Timken play a supporting role, featured larger than life with astronauts performing the precarious spacewalk repair in the movie "Hubble 3D," currently showing at IMAX theatres in 48 countries worldwide.

    To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hubble-telescope-service-mission-featured-in-hubble-3d-imax-movie-aided-by-timken-precision-bearings-102028343.html

    ATK's Mini Power Tool equipped with Timken(R) custom thin-section precision ball bearings engineered especially for the application's unique requirements helped to enable the crucial repairs to return the Hubble Space Telescope to active duty. Wearing bulky spacesuit gloves, the astronauts operated the Mini Power Tool flawlessly to unfasten dozens of tiny screws and replace circuit boards on the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), all while orbiting the Earth at 17,500 mph. The instrument repairs were critical to the ongoing operation of the Hubble telescope, which has since revealed new images of faraway galaxies after resuming its journey.

    Timken engineered the miniature bearings in close collaboration with ATK to achieve smooth operation in the challenging space environment. Extreme operating temperatures, the vacuum of space and failsafe mechanical requirements were among the design parameters ATK and Timken engineers had to consider in designing the tool. Both companies have pedigrees supplying space-certified hardware for numerous NASA missions.

    "When a spaceflight solution is needed, Timken is a trusted name with decades of experience," said Wayne Denny, Timken's chief engineer for Health and Positioning Control. "Aerospace engineers know they can turn to us to develop custom solutions that meet demanding conditions and environments."

    About The Timken Company

    The Timken Company keeps the world turning with innovative friction management and power transmission products and services, enabling our customers' machinery to perform more efficiently and reliably. With sales of $3.1 billion in 2009, operations in 27 countries/territories and approximately 17,000 employees, Timken is Where You Turn(R) for better performance.

    About ATK

    ATK , is a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 18,000 employees in 22 states, Puerto Rico and internationally, with revenues in excess of $4.8 billion. News and information about ATK is available at www.atk.com.

    Cellcom Israel Ltd Announces Regulator's Decision to Reduce Interconnect Tariff

    NETANYA, Israel, September 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cellcom Israel Ltd. (the "Company") announced today that following the previous reports regarding the possible reduction of interconnect tariffs payable to cellular operators in Israel, the Israeli Ministry of Communications, or MOC, announced its decision to amend the applicable Israeli regulations as follows:

    - to reduce the maximum interconnect tariff payable by a landline operator or a cellular operator for the completion of a call on another cellular network from the current tariff of NIS 0.251 per minute to NIS 0.0687 per minute from January 1, 2011; to 0.0634 per minute from January 1, 2012; to NIS 0.0591 per minute from January 1, 2013; and to NIS 0.0555 from January 1, 2014. - to reduce the maximum interconnect tariff payable by a cellular operator for sending an SMS message to another cellular network from the current tariff of NIS 0.0285 to NIS 0.0016 from January 1, 2011; to NIS 0.0015 from January 1, 2012; to NIS 0.0014 from January 1, 2013; and to NIS 0.0013 from January 1, 2014. - the tariffs do not include VAT and will be updated annually from January 1, 2011, based on the change in the Israeli CPI published in November of the preceding year against the Israeli CPI published in January 2009.

    The reduction is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results. As previously reported, such adverse effects include both the direct effect of the reduction and indirect effects.

    Absent any efforts to mitigate the expected loss of revenues, these changes are expected to have an annual direct adverse effect (based on the Company's current calls and SMS data) of approximately NIS 420 million on the Company's EBITDA and approximately NIS 320 million on the Company's net income, for the first reduction.

    The Company cannot predict the actual indirect adverse effects the reduction would have on the Company's results, including from fewer calls being made as subscribers switch to landline and callback services. Any usage of the interconnect tariff as the basis for other tariffs, if regulated, such as for the provision of services to MVNO or the provision of national roaming services (if such services are allowed), may have additional material adverse effect on the Company's results.

    The Company intends to take measures to mitigate as much as possible the expected adverse effects of such reduction, through revenue enhancement as well as cost reduction, but cannot assure that these will be successful.

    The Company will study the MOC's detailed decision, once received, and will then determine its steps against the decision, such as filing a petition with the Israeli Supreme Court of Justice. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such petition, if filed.

    For additional details see the Company's most recent annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009 on Form 20-F under "Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors - Risks related to our business - We operate in a heavily regulated industry, which can harm our results of operations" and "We face intense competition in all aspects of our business", as well as under "Item 4. Information on the Company - B. Business Overview - Competition" and "Government Regulations -Tariff Supervision", the Company's immediate report regarding its results of operations in the first quarter of 2010 on form 6-K dated May 17, 2010, under "Other developments during the first quarter of 2010 and subsequent to the end of the reporting period - Regulation - Tariff Supervision" and the Company's immediate report regarding its results of operations in the second quarter of 2010 on form 6-K dated August 26, 2010, under "Other developments during the second quarter of 2010 and subsequent to the end of the reporting period - Regulation ".

    Forward Looking Statement - The information contained in this press release contains, or may be deemed to contain, forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Israeli Securities Law, 1968). Said forward-looking statements, relating to the impact of the reduction of interconnect tariffs on the Company's results of operations, are subject to uncertainties and assumptions about the outcome of the aforesaid petition, if filed; the actual effects of the reduction (including customer reaction and substitution of other products, as well as general trends in the Company's business that could change the number of subscribers, minutes of use and pricing); the entry of MVNOs or new operators to the market and their actual effect on the market and the Company's results; the existence of national roaming services and the regulator's intervention in setting tariffs for MVNO and national roaming services, the tariffs actually set and the effects of such services and tariffs on the market and the Company's results; and the Company's ability to mitigate the expected lost revenues. The actual effect of the reduction and other regulatory changes, as well as the Company's ability to mitigate the expected lost revenues, could lead to materially different outcome than that set forth above.

    Ford Uses Innovative Liquid-Cooled Battery System to Help Focus Electric Owners Maximize Range

    DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    --  The all-new Ford Focus Electric, which debuts in late 2011 in the U.S.
    and 2012 in Europe, will be powered by a lithium-ion battery system that
    utilizes cooled and heated liquid to regulate battery temperature,
    extend battery life and maximize driving range
    

    --  The innovative thermal management technology helps the Focus Electric
    operate efficiently in a range of ambient temperatures
    

    --  Focus Electric is one of five new electrified vehicles Ford will deliver
    over the next three years in North America and Europe. The Focus
    Electric will be built at Ford's retooled Michigan Assembly Plant
    

    The all-new Ford Focus Electric, which debuts in the U.S. late next year and in Europe in 2012, will be powered by an advanced lithium-ion battery that utilizes heated and cooled liquid to help maximize battery life and gas-free driving range.

    Thermal management of lithium-ion battery systems is critical to the success of all-electric vehicles because extreme temperatures can affect performance, reliability, safety and durability. Ford has chosen an advanced active liquid-cooling and heating system to regulate the temperature of its lithium-ion battery packs, which are designed to operate under a range of ambient conditions.

    "All-electric vehicles do not have a conventional engine on board, so it is critical we maximize the performance of the battery under various operating temperatures," said Sherif Marakby, Ford director, Electrification Program and Engineering. "Active liquid systems are more effective than air systems at regulating lithium-ion battery temperature. As a result, the active liquid system on Focus Electric will play a key role in providing our customers with the best performance possible."

    The active liquid cooling and heating system also enables the Focus Electric to automatically precondition the battery pack temperature during daily recharging. When the vehicle is plugged in to the power grid, the vehicle system will be able to warm up the battery on cold days and cool it down on hot days.

    The Focus Electric will be built at Ford's retooled Michigan Assembly Plant and will be available in late 2011. The vehicle will have an expected range of up to 100 miles and use no gasoline at all.

    Battery thermal management in action

    While air-cooling methods work well for many of today's smaller car battery systems, the larger, more complex lithium-ion battery technology powering Ford's all-electric vehicles calls for an aggressive thermal management system.

    An active liquid system heats or chills a coolant before pumping it through the battery cooling system. This loop regulates temperature throughout the system against external conditions.

    On hot days, chilled water absorbs heat from the batteries, dispersing it through a radiator before pumping it through the chiller again. On cold days, heated water warms the batteries, gradually bringing the system's temperature to a level that allows it to efficiently accept charge energy and provide enough discharge power for expected vehicle performance.

    "Extreme temperatures impact a battery's life and performance, making it crucial to have an effective cooling and heating system to regulate temperature for these demanding applications," said Anand Sankaran, Ford executive technical leader, Energy Storage and HV Systems.

    The liquid cooling system also plays a role in charging the vehicle. When the all-electric Focus is plugged in to recharge, the vehicle control system will automatically precondition the battery, if needed, to the optimal temperature before accepting charge. If the battery is already at the optimal temperature, the system will automatically accept charge and maintain an optimal temperature.

    "We are working closely with our technology partners to accelerate the development of our lithium-ion battery systems to help our future EV customers get the most out of their vehicles," Marakby said. "Our goal is to build an electric vehicle that delivers on the quality and performance customers have come to expect from Ford."

    Focus Electric is one of five electrified vehicles Ford will release over the next three years. In addition to the Focus Electric, the Ford Transit Connect Electric small commercial van arrives in late 2010, followed by two next-generation hybrid electric vehicles, as well as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in North America in 2012 and Europe in 2013.

    Electrified vehicles are one part of Ford's broader strategy to offer a wide range of environmentally friendly, advanced technology solutions to improve fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions affordably for customers around the world.

    New SDI Equalizer from National Semiconductor Delivers Industry's Longest Cable Reach at Half the PowerPowerWise SDI Equalizer (LMH0394) Extends Reach of Broadcast Video Signals by Forty Percent

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A new serial digital interface (SDI) cable equalizer from National Semiconductor Corp. extends the reach of broadcast video signals by forty percent (200m at 3 Gbps) while delivering half the power (115 mW typical) of comparable equalizers.

    The emergence of 3D-TV, which requires stereoscopic video to be captured with two independent cameras, is forcing broadcasters to migrate to higher data rates (up to 3 Gbps) to transport high-definition (HD) video signals between equipment. The increased data rates present signal integrity and power budget challenges at greater distances. The LMH0394 addresses these challenges by providing the industry's longest reach across all supported data rates - 200m at 3 Gbps (3G), 220m at HD and 400m at standard definition (SD) - and the lowest power consumption.

    Until now, broadcasters have used either copper links with multiple distribution amplifiers (a type of signal repeater) or more expensive optical solutions to extend the reach of video equipment. By enabling reception of 3G-SDI across a single 200m link of coax cable, National's LMH0394 improves performance and reduces system complexity, bill of materials (BOM) cost and operating power. The LMH0394 also alleviates the need to upgrade to costly fiber solutions for longer-reach outdoor installations (such as sporting events), which allows broadcasters to get more out of their existing coax installations.

    The LMH0394's low power consumption provides system designers the power budget margin they need to add functionality such as audio processing and reclocking on video input cards. The device also includes an automatic power-down mode that, in the absence of an input signal, reduces power consumption by 85 percent.

    In addition, the LMH0394 provides the lowest output jitter across the entire range of cable lengths, enabling designers to meet system jitter budgets. The typical jitter is less than 0.15 unit intervals (UI) of output jitter up to 100m, 0.20 UI up to 140m and 0.40 UI up to 180m at 3G data rates. The LMH0394's low output jitter also removes the need for input relocking of short-reach links, further saving power consumption.

    The LMH0394's advanced features include power-efficient low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) drivers with programmable offset, amplitude and output de-emphasis, a cable length indicator that can approximate cable lengths within 1m of accuracy, and support for passive external splitters. These enhanced features can be accessed through the LMH0394's SPI programming interface. Offered in a 4 mm by 4 mm, 16-pin LLP(R) package, the LMH0394 is backward-compatible with National's SDI equalizer family.

    A dual output version (the LMH0395) is also available. The LMH0395 has very low operating power, consuming 145 mW from a 2.5V supply. The chip's dual outputs remove the need for an external 1:2 buffer, further reducing system power and cost. Each of the outputs can be independently enabled and programmed to drive downstream devices with different input requirements and trace lengths. The LMH0395 is supplied in a space saving 4 mm by 4 mm, 24-pin LLP package.

    Pricing and Availability

    The LMH0394 is priced at $21.95 each and the LMH0395 is priced at $22.95 each in 1000-unit quantities. Both devices are sampling now, with production quantities scheduled for October 2010.

    NewCardio CEO Increases Equity PositionCEO Purchased 128,000 Shares and Reiterates Confidence in Company's Long-Term Success; Founder Sells Small Portion of Initial Holdings Before a Lock-Up Agreement Becomes Effective

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NewCardio a cardiac diagnostic technology provider, today announced that Vincent Renz, Jr., NewCardio's President and CEO, purchased 128,000 shares during his trading window in open market transactions in the two weeks following the Company's filing of its SEC Form 10-Q and earnings conference for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

    "As discussed on our August 12, 2010 investor conference call, we are focused on the underlying fundamentals that will enable us to create long term value for our employees, customers and shareholders," commented Mr. Renz. "We continue to make steady progress with the commercialization of QTinno(TM) as our efforts to enhance market awareness and adoption through our interactions with clinical trial service providers, sponsors and regulatory authorities are starting to translate into increasing sales opportunities which we believe will drive revenue growth and expansion. In addition, we are working to identify opportunities, either through strategic partnerships or other relationships, to source additional capital that will enable us to accelerate the development and commercialization of our proven 3-D platform technology in delivering additional solutions which will advance the ECG as a diagnostic tool."

    Mr. Renz continued, "Specifically, the additional capital will be focused on the commercialization of our second and third products, CardioBip(TM) and Cardio3KG(TM). Based on the progress we have made in the development and validation efforts to date, as well as the size of the potential markets that these solutions will address, I do not believe the market has appropriately valued NewCardio, for either our achievements to date or the potential of our underlying 3-D technology platform. My recent purchases demonstrate my confidence in our ability to create long term value and reinforce my long-term commitment to helping the Company maximize its chances for success."

    In conjunction with the December 2007 $8.2 million PIPE financing, on August 27, 2010, several early investors, including select members of the board of directors, pursuant to lock-up agreements they delivered to facilitate the PIPE financing, entered a lock-up period whereby they cannot sell any NewCardio stock for the one year through August 27, 2011. This group represents more than one-third of the approximately 30 million shares of common stock outstanding. In anticipation of this one year lock-up, and in conjunction with his transition from CEO and his voluntary salary reduction taken as part of the current expense reduction plan that was put in place by management to strengthen its financial position, Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., Founder, Vice Chairman and NewCardio Fellow and one of the investors subject to the lock-up, sold 295,000 shares. The sale represents his only sale since founding the Company in 2004.

    Describing the trade, Dr. Vajdic stated, "I am pleased and proud to continue to be the single largest shareholder of NewCardio, and thus believe I am fully aligned with all our shareholders. I remain committed to the success of the Company and believe that we are getting close to achieving the promise we saw when we founded the Company around our powerful 3-D technology platform to improve the value of the most widely used cardiology diagnostic tool in the world, the ECG. As part of our plan moving forward, I retain approximately 97% of my holdings and NewCardio remains my single largest personal asset. This was a limited opportunity to provide some liquidity and I remain fully committed to the success of the Company both as the Vice Chairman and a key technical expert."

    In aggregate, officers and directors now beneficially own approximately 36% of the NewCardio's outstanding common stock.

    About NewCardio, Inc.

    NewCardio is a cardiac diagnostic and services company developing and marketing proprietary software platform technologies to provide higher accuracy to, and increase the value of, the standard 12-lead ECG. NewCardio's 3-D ECG software platform reduces the time and expense involved in assessing cardiac status while increasing the ability to diagnose clinically significant conditions which were previously difficult to detect. NewCardio's software products and services significantly improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular disease, as well as cardiac safety assessment of drugs under development.

    NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Cree, Altera, Xilinx, Lattice Semiconductor and Qualcomm

    PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Cree , Altera , Xilinx , Lattice Semiconductor and Qualcomm .

    Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After calling the rally that started in March 2009 to the day and providing Next Inning readers with buy recommendations that in some cases returned in excess of 400%, he advised readers on May 3, 2010 that the markets were heading for a correction. By the end of the day, the correction started.

    In his June 7th Strategy Review, McWilliams advised readers we would see stocks rally in July, but that the rally would be followed by another selloff in August. As we know now, both events materialized as predicted. On August 30th, Next Inning published McWilliams' Fall Strategy Review that outlines what he expects from the markets during the coming three months and naming five stocks he thinks will hit new highs before the close of the year. Investors are invited to read McWilliams' market insights with no obligation during a 21-day risk-free trial.

    Trial subscribers will receive the Next Inning Fall Strategy Review and highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and detailed earnings previews, are available for free to trial subscribers.

    In addition, subscribers will have access to McWilliams' daily commentary and actionable alerts. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:

    https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn1081

    McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

    -- The price of Cree is up more than 250% since McWilliams urged Next Inning readers to consider buying it as a strategic investment. What five factors does McWilliams see as the primary drivers for Cree going forward? What has McWilliams calculated to be Cree's "fair value" price? What strategy can investors use to take advantage of Cree's high volatility?

    -- Based on worldwide semiconductor sales data, recent earnings reports, and information gathered from McWilliams' field network, is there support for a bullish view of Altera and Xilinx? Is Lattice Semiconductor a good stock to pair with these sector leaders?

    -- Does handset display driver data suggest that Q3 got off to a good start for Qualcomm? Is the stock poised to break higher out of its trading range in the coming months?

    Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 235% since its inception versus 20% for the S&P 500.

    About Next Inning:

    Siemens IT Solutions and Services Announces Teamcenter Based PLM Content Management SolutionIntegrated Offering Built on Teamcenter, Siemens PLM Software's Open Enterprise PLM Backbone, to Help Daimler AG Support Increasing After-Sales Business

    NORWALK, Conn., and PLANO, Texas, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens IT Solutions and Services, Inc. and Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced an integrated Teamcenter(R) software based PLM content management solution. The new integrated service offering - PLM Driven Content Management - developed for the manufacturing industry sector will help customers to better support technical publications writing in development, service or after-sales business.

    The PLM Driven Content Management offering combines Siemens IT Solutions and Services' in-depth content management experience, best practices and implementation services with the commercially-available Teamcenter content and document management solution to help customers capture and organize information for both internal use and external publishing. The new enterprise-wide publishing and content management offering is specifically designed around the product development process. It allows individual companies and entire supply chains to capture information - from the onset of product design all the way through to multi-media updates to publications for commercially available products, such as owner's manuals, service catalogs and repair manuals.

    Siemens PLM Software and Siemens IT Solutions and Services are currently working with Daimler AG in Germany to build its publishing framework for automotive technical documentation.

    "What makes this offering unique is that it's a content management solution specifically designed within the context of PLM," said Ed Shinouskis, vice president, Siemens IT Solutions and Services. "The offering, built on Siemens PLM Software's Teamcenter, the world's most widely used PLM portfolio, creates incredible efficiencies in both the design and the publication processes. It captures each and every step in the lifecycle of the product and automates and archives all of that valuable information for easy retrieval and downstream publishing. It is an invaluable tool for any company involved in product development and content management."

    "This solution combines Siemens IT Solutions and Services business and IT expertise and Siemens PLM Software's industry-leading, open enterprise PLM backbone to provide customers with high-value solutions in the field of technical publications and content management," said Eric Sterling, senior vice president, Global Marketing, Siemens PLM Software. "Siemens PLM Software is committed to working with our system integrator partners to help our customers efficiently and cost effectively get more out of their PLM implementation."

    Teamcenter content management system synchronizes technical content with core product information for complex publications like parts catalogs, owners' manuals, and service documents. As engineering changes occur, downstream publications can be updated to stay current with the most recent release of the product. However, producing documents requires manual publication design by an independent team of illustrators, technical writers, editors and design consultants and the resulting publications require frequent updating to stay current with engineering changes.

    The Teamcenter PLM based solution integrates the efforts of the engineering and documentation teams in a single common environment, allowing authors and engineers to stay in sync during each step in the product development process, by capturing and archiving information on each specification change. It then manages documents and technical publications, created in each stage of the product design lifecycle and publishes it for almost any purpose and in almost any format without recreating it -- including 3-D. It even allows the use of existing authoring and editing tools through standard integrations.

    The Siemens IT Solutions and Services offering includes the installation and configuration of Teamcenter, the establishment of documentation policy and procedures of the customer, and the migration of legacy systems to the PLM driven content management solution.

    The solution will dramatically reduce the time it takes to generate highly complex documents and minimize opportunities for errors because it captures each step in the documentation process once and maintains it as needed. Teamcenter content management can manage multiple languages, control the process of translation and lowers risk considerably by eliminating the need to replicate information among various elements of the development and publishing processes. Furthermore, if a change is made in one element of the publication, it will automatically update that change throughout the entirety of the content. The solution allows splitting large documents into logical segments which enables writers to reuse documentation without re-creation. The core PDM functionality of Teamcenter manages these segments in a logical, configurable structure.
