Siemens is actively promoting the transition from Rich Client (RAC) to Active Workspace Client (AWC) as part of its long-term product roadmap. RAC, being Java-based, is increasingly seen as outdated due to performance constraints, limited accessibility, and heavy IT dependency. AWC, on the other hand, is a lightweight, browser-based client with a modern UI/UX, faster learning curve, and lower TCO.
Enhanced usability and lower training costs
Reduced infrastructure dependency
Ready for future Teamcenter versions
