Siemens’ flagship PLM platform, Teamcenter, has traditionally been deployed on-premise. Recognizing the industry shift toward as-a-service models, Siemens launched (now commonly referred to as Teamcenter AX or Siemens AX in cloud contexts) around 2020–2021. Unlike a simple “lift-and-shift” of on-premise software to a virtual machine, Teamcenter AX is built with cloud-native principles: microservices, containerization (using Kubernetes), and automated CI/CD pipelines. It is typically hosted on major hyperscalers such as Microsoft Azure or AWS, depending on regional availability.
