In this everchanging software, staying on top of the newest features and capabilities is always demanding. It is our focus to simplify the tools in the Active Workspace and Teamcenter software to enable the users, administrators, configuration experts and developers a wide range of demonstrations to aid in reducing the time it takes to implement a solution and to aid in retaining that knowledge to reduce training costs down the road. Our videos and content are formatted to feel like you are sitting in the room with the instructor (but you don't have to).​We understand in this time a truly ad-hoc method of consuming training around your schedule (not ours) is key. Illustration of an instructor teaching inside of a computer. Represents remote learning. What we do We provide software technical support and consulting services for Siemens' Teamcenter software and associated architecture. We create technical demonstrations on key aspects of using, administering, installing, and customizing the Teamcenter software. These demonstrations are curated into Learning Tracks in our Learning Center Library and available, for free, for individuals to access with a valid, free, membership. We provide mentoring services related to Teamcenter core functionality. These services may be short timeframes for reviewing Learning Track material, issues with an existing environment or other questions. As long as we have a resource that can assist, we can offer the service. Our Story After teaching Teamcenter for Siemens DISW for 9+ years, we saw many attempts at building adoptable training to users and administrators of Teamcenter. In person classes were flattened by Covid, remote classes were expensive but available. Companies needed training, Teamcenter administrators were hard to find and the market was changing. After researching, there weren't many available free or available training resources that an individual could take that would prepare them for working with Teamcenter. In addition, being the subject matter expert involves repeating how to topics many times to team members. This all lead to the development of AWToolbox.com and later TcToolbox.com . We use excess funding from contracts to supplement the development of our training material. We slash expenses by producing 1 shot recordings. This provides both a much quicker development process, but also provides some humanity to the demonstration where mistakes are made and learned from. Our story continues and is rocky at times, but the feedback we are receiving from the industry is amazing and fuels our desire to continue working with this fantastic software. Our Values Simplicity - Keep things clear, easy, and supported. Precision - Details matter. Integrity - Strive to do the right thing, even if it costs us. Innovation - Always working to improve and engage. Partnership - Work together for better results and information. Looking Ahead We are a newer, growing company with a lot of aspirations. Every step we take will take our customer's needs and wants into consideration to enable a bigger adoption of this amazing software and community. Meet the Team As with all startups, at first the team is small but effective. Our team is made up of Glen Keller and Michael Hensley . Glen Keller | Found, CEO & Principal Technical Architect Glen brings more than 17 years of hands‑on experience in Teamcenter, Active Workspace, enterprise software, and manufacturing environments. His background spans technical training, on‑site implementations, and system customization across multiple industries. He began his career in 2004 at Talbert Manufacturing in Rensselaer, IN , working as an AutoCAD designer and supporting efforts to digitize legacy engineering drawings. Glen earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Graphics Technology from Purdue University . During his time there, he held several technical and creative roles, including computer lab support, Flash/CS3 development, video game development, and leading a digital signage team. After graduation, Glen joined Siemens DISW through the Gensis Program , where he built a full Teamcenter installation from the ground up, administered application and data model changes, and implemented custom API‑based extensions. He later taught Teamcenter technical courses, developed new curriculum, and advanced from Learning Consultant to Principal Technical Architect. Following his time at Siemens, Glen has continued to support major aerospace and defense programs, including the United States Air Force’s A‑10 Teamcenter implementation and Spirit AeroSystems’ Teamcenter environment. He also works with a wide range of cross‑industry customers, providing mentoring and solution guidance to strengthen and optimize their Teamcenter environments. During this period, he founded the startup that evolved into TcToolbox.com , created to support and give back to the Teamcenter community.

The Learning Center provides access to curated content. This content is also available on our YouTube Channel . The Learning Center has the capability of tracking an attendee's progress in a topic, therefore the advantage to using the Learning Center over YouTube is traceability and certification. The Learning Center is divided into Learning Tracks. The Learning Tracks are similar to the Categories in the Blog. They aid in filtering the Learning Center content to the version or topic you need to learn. When using the Learning Center follow these general guidelines: Access the Learning Center by clicking the link in the menu. Filter the Topics by selecting a Learning Track. Locate a Topic and click View to view the Topic Information. If a Topic says Start | Continue , the Topic is already started. Click the button to continue to interact with the Topic. Click Join to join the Topic. Learning Tracks Topics are arranged into Learning Tracks (i.e. Using Essentials). If your goal is to learn administration topics, you will select the Administrators Learning Track and begin attending Topics. Topic Order and Prerequisites While exploring Topics in a Learning Track, Topics have been arranged in the logical order by our instructor(s). To take the Topics in the curated order, take the Topics as a book is read in the English language. Start at the top-left and go left to right, start again on the next row down, left to right. Attend Topics in order starting in the top-left and moving right. At the end of a row, traverse to the next row and repeat in the same order (left to right). This is similar to reading in English. Some Topics indicate recommended prerequisite knowledge for the Topic. This means that you should have a fundamental understanding of that Topic prior to taking the current Topic. For example, Topics in the Using Essentials Learning Track are prerequisites for Topics in the Administrators Learning Track. Topic Card(s) Each Topic Card contains the title of the topic, description, and a badge that indicates if you are Enrolled or have Completed the course. If you are already Enrolled or Completed, you will see a  Start | Continue  button instead of a  View  button. Example(s) of TcToolbox Learning Center Topic Card(s).
