PTC today announced PTC PLM Cloud, a new Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system designed to cater to the needs of small and midsize product companies and scheduled for launch in March.
This solution encapsulates the power of PTC Windchill, an effective PLM system, with a flexible, hosted subscription, delivered at a pace that matches the needs of SMBs.
PTC designed PTC PLM Cloud specifically to enable team collaboration and data management in the cloud and eliminate risks common in typical SMB methods of shared folders and file naming conventions, which can affect product development.
With more effective and reliable data sharing, this new cloud service offers effective and reliable data sharing meaning businesses are able to seamlessly deploy collaborative product development projects for teams in different locations.
“The value of PTC PLM Cloud is clear,” said Peter Bilello, President, CIMdata. “PTC’s offering has been designed to allow smaller companies, which have previously been unable to rapidly implement PLM capabilities, to quickly deploy and adopt key data management, visualization and reuse functionality. Those are all vital capabilities for any company in the business of developing products.”
The PTC PLM Cloud offers a secure work environment, optimum speed for distributed teams, improved time to value ratio and a better overall cost of ownership.
“This solution is a true fully-featured PLM offering, including multi-CAD data management and collaboration,” said Brian Shepherd, EVP, Extended PLM Segment, PTC. “We’re excited to bring real, proven PLM to even the smallest product companies. Without needing to worry about system administration, they can focus on what matters most - their business.”
