PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the Product Development Company(R), today
announced it has strengthened its strategic partnership with Airbus.
Windchill has been successfully deployed for content and process
management as a key enabler for Airbus to manage product development
data and processes within the complexity of its extended enterprise
environment. Additionally, Airbus is likely to use the PTC solution
for new aircraft programs in the context of a multi-year partnership
in which Airbus and the PTC R&D organization are working closely
together on the implementation of the strategic enterprise PLM
roadmap.
Airbus' product development strategy is to increasingly utilize
out-of-the-box Windchill solutions. This makes it easier to integrate
and deliver new capabilities in the future and maintain new software
versions. The overall Windchill implementation program is managed by
PTC to ensure processes alignment and to optimize operating
performance for the maintenance and support of the PLM environment.
"Global manufacturing companies are trying to balance the pressure
to be more efficient and cost-effective with customer demand for
increased innovation, more product variants and shorter
time-to-market," said Richard Harrison, president and CEO of PTC.
"Companies are changing the way they develop products as a result, but
they must invest in new technologies to support this change. In a
typical aerospace development program for example, the OEM brings
together millions of components made by thousands of suppliers around
the world, with varying configurations depending on its airline
customers. PTC Windchill has proven to be a successful and reliable
solution for managing these highly engineered and enormously complex
products."
In order to achieve the specific needs of its customers, PTC is
driving joint initiatives with its customers that will benefit not
only one customer, but the entire customer base. This enables PTC to
further strengthen its products to support multiple companies who
share similar requirements.
"Like Airbus, companies of all sizes in all industries are
increasingly adopting out-of-the-box PLM solutions from PTC to
optimize total cost of ownership, upgradeability, and overall project
success," said James Heppelmann, executive vice president and chief
product officer of PTC. "This type of partnership confirms the
strength and maturity of the PTC Product Development System. Our
customers gain competitive advantage when they can easily capture and
integrate mechanical, electrical and embedded software information
around a common bill of material, automate common processes, and
enable collaboration between different departments and globally
distributed teams."
