# Teamcenter

Fetch, sync and report on part and assembly data from [Siemens Teamcenter PLM](https://plm.sw.siemens.com/en-US/teamcenter/).

Violet structures and stores Part metadata as well as associated files like 2D drawings or 3D models.

From there, you can sync data and files to downstream applications like [NetSuite](/apps/n/netsuite.md), [ION](/apps/i/ion/generate-api-credentials-in-ion.md), [Manufacturo](/apps/m/manufacturo.md), [Boltline](/apps/b/boltline.md), [Cofactr](/apps/c/cofactr.md) and more.

Data can be synced on an individual basis or for an entire integration - requiring no manual intervention. See our [Example syncs](/features/workflows/data-sync-workflows/example-syncs.md) for more info.

### Getting started

To get started, follow the instructions below:

* For **on-premises** implementations:
  * Connect [directly to your Teamcenter SQL database](/apps/t/teamcenter/connect-direct-to-database.md) (recommended for faster performance)
  * Connect [via the Teamcenter API](/apps/t/teamcenter/connect-via-api.md) (necessary for files)
* For **cloud** implementations, follow the instructions for [Teamcenter X](/apps/t/teamcenter/connect-teamcenter-x.md)

Or, continue reading to learn more about how it works:

* [Supported data types](/apps/t/teamcenter/supported-data-types.md)
* [Teamcenter property mapping](/apps/t/teamcenter/teamcenter-property-mapping.md)
* [Teamcenter FAQ](/apps/t/teamcenter/teamcenter-faq.md)
