Agenda
 eQube®-BI/Teamcenter Reporting and Analytics (TcRA) Overview
 Key Product and Capability launches with Demonstrations

 eQube®-BI/TcRA Architecture

 TcRA Roadmap

#PLMCONX | www.siemensplmconnection.org
Overview
• Enterprise-wide agile solution for “Rapid-BI”
• “Visibility infrastructure” for rapid enterprise wide business intelligence –
Actionable Insight & knowledge
• BI Platform for analyzing “Big Data”
• In-context BI – therefore, highly relevant and scalable capability
• In-memory analytics -- real-time cubes (data mash-ups) for rapid response to critical business
questions
• BI across structured and semi-structured data
• Unprecedented capability for:
• Creation of a “single view of data”
• Collation of in-context data from multiple systems
• Further aggregation of that collated data
• Intuitive presentation of the aggregated data as
• Dynamic metrics/charts, dashboards, and detailed analysis reports

• Teamcenter Reporting & Analytics (‘TcRA’) is powered by eQube®-BI

#PLMCONX | www.siemensplmconnection.org
Overview Contd.
• Robust, scalable, and flexible platform for Rapid-BI
• Does not require the presence of a data-mart or data-warehouse
• Ability to connect with enterprise systems natively (web-services/APIs)
• In-context real-time BI capability
• In-memory analytics cubes
• Zero foot-print client – web-browser is the client

• Pre-built application connectors using APIs
• Scalable
Semantic Modelling Capability
• Integrated in the product
• PLM Domain Ontology shipped OOTB
#PLMCONX | www.siemensplmconnection.org
Data Security – Governance
• Direct Connectivity to Source Systems using APIs
• Honors the underlying applications’ security rules
• Leverages the entire object model including
customizations
• No Copy of the Source data for analysis
eQube- 3D Insight
• Visualize metrics on the 3D rendering of the Product
model based on various parameters from multiple
systems such as
• # of changes, velocity of change, inventory levels,
production , cost overruns…
9
eQube® - 3D Insight
• Visualize Product performance from a variety of perspectives:
• # of changes, velocity of change, inventory levels,
production and supply-chain bottlenecks,
stock outages, cost overruns, warranty claims,
shop-floor throughput, quality, etc.

• Product visualization in 3D with color

renderings

• Honor security/access control rules

• Drill into the 3D rendering and

associated ‘eQube cube’ for Actionable Insight
