PTC Gold Loyalty Program Passes Savings on to Maintenance Customers
PTC announced several new partner participants in the PTC Maintenance Gold Loyalty Program. The Gold Loyalty Program rewards active maintenance customers with special offers and discounts from a select group of PTC software and hardware partners. Active maintenance customers are automatically enrolled in the free program. Current participating partners include 3Dconnexion, Inc.; Mentor Graphics Corporation; Objet Geometries Inc.; Virtalis; and Z Corporation.
PTC is pleased to announce that the following partners have joined the program: CADNexus Inc., Dell Inc., Knovel Corporation and Lenovo Inc.
The participating partners appreciate that the PTC Maintenance Support group is making a special effort to acknowledge the loyalty shown by its community of software users. “The PTC Maintenance Gold Loyalty Program provides 3Dconnexion with a unique opportunity to address the needs of PTC customers and deliver our solutions at the most economical price for a key group of software engineers,” stated Grzegorz Sobczyk, Director of Business Development at 3Dconnexion.
“PTC recognizes that customers make a conscious decision to invest in maintenance and we are committed to helping them realize value from that commitment,” said Anthony DiBona, Executive Vice President, Global Maintenance Support, PTC. “The Gold Loyalty Program provides a way to show customer appreciation by delivering additional value without additional costs. It’s a win-win for our customers and participating partners.”
Custom Mold & Design of New Hope, MN, an industry leader in precision, high-volume molds with fully interchangeable components, was one of the first customers to take advantage of a partner offer. Custom Mold & Design relies on Pro/ENGINEER® models to meet the high tolerances required for its molds. The more efficient they are in developing those models, the more quickly they can meet their customers’ needs. A member of Custom Mold & Design’s engineering team was using the SpacePilot 3D mouse from 3Dconnexion, and found it useful to manipulate 3D models. Through a special Gold Loyalty Program offer from 3Dconnexion on the PTC Web site, the company was able to purchase additional devices at a discount.
“The Gold Loyalty Program is an added benefit to the value that we’ve always received from our maintenance relationship with PTC,” stated Mark Morris, General Manager, Custom Mold & Design. “Given today’s economy, it couldn’t have come at a better time. We used the program discount to purchase products at a discounted price, which ultimately helps us to better serve our customers.”
All attendees of the PTC/USER World Event in Orlando, Florida June 7 – 10, 2009 are invited to visit the PTC Gold Loyalty Partner Booth #501 featuring 3Dconnexion.
