Jetbox Enters PLM Marketplace
Jetbox, Inc., provider of software tools for deploying and maintaining PLM implementations, announces its introduction into the PLM marketplace. Recent PLM implementations performed by Jetbox partners who used the iC5™ toolset, have already achieved:
- 88% reduction in consulting services
- 75% reduction in implementation team size
- 70% decrease in time-to-value
- 100% reduction in the need for customizations
"Jetbox has completely re-invented the way PLM is deployed and used. Had it not been for their methodology, our project would have been extended many more months and the overhead involved in getting the project deployed would have significantly increased," stated Michael A. Pereira, Vice President Global QMS, Pentax HOYA.
Included in its ground-breaking software is iC5™ Turbo, a comprehensive sales and implementation toolset that slashes the time and eliminates the expertise required to sell, plan, install, configure, document, test, deploy, train, use, support, and upgrade a PLM system. This powerful software toolset helps companies eliminate the need for a customized solution and a team of consultants, keeping within the constraints of an out-of-the-box approach.
"I have seen firsthand the enormous value that PLM can bring to companies when done right. I've also seen companies that stumble - or fail to even get off the ground - because of the cost, effort and complexity of PLM implementations. So I'm excited to be able to take all of the success that we've had, use the knowledge we've gained to develop tools to do it well, and automate it, and bring it to the masses so that everyone can achieve successful results. There is no reason why every VAR and SI out there can't sell and implement successful PLM solutions," stated Jon Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Jetbox.
Jetbox has already successfully partnered with leading industry PLM platforms and implementation providers, such as Dassault Systemes and Integware, and is working with several partners within North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Jetbox continues to grow its partner community through SIs, VARs, PLM implementation providers, and PLM platform providers.
"SIs and VARs face an increasingly complex and difficult business environment," states Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata's Director of Research. "Trying to rapidly deliver value is challenging, as their partners deliver a broader portfolio that requires more training and other investments, and their clients are demanding solutions closer to out-of-the-box. Solutions like those planned by Jetbox have the potential to help channel partners, and potentially end user companies themselves, get the rapid time to value and productivity that they seek."
