BWIR Announces Strategic Alliance with PTC
Barry-Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR) has announced the signing of a nationwide partnership agreement with PTC of Needham, Mass., to become an Enterprise Solutions Provider offering PTC Windchill® PLM product, maintenance, E-learning training products and integration services. The Windchill software suite enables collaborative content and process management -- from design to supplier sourcing and production -- over the internet. BWIR and its parent, Barry-Wehmiller Companies, Inc., have a distinguished record with a wide range of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. This milestone serves to cement BWIR’s relationship with PTC through a formal agreement.
“In today’s challenging economic environment, more and more companies are looking to streamline their engineering processes to increase productivity and decrease lead time,” stated Jim Webb, BWIR Senior Partner and Vice President of Global Engineering and PLM Solutions - Americas. “Our expertise in the implementation of enterprise solutions and Windchill PLM systems worldwide, combined with the robust products and services from PTC, provides a formidable value proposition to the marketplace.”
BWIR has more than a decade of experience offering tool-agnostic product lifecycle management (PLM) implementation. The addition of products and services from PTC complements this offering by improving BWIR’s ability to meet the needs of customers that demand higher-end PLM functionality due to an increased need for engineering design collaboration, or multi-site and global operations.
“We look forward to working closely with BWIR to expand our ability to offer PTC products and services to manufacturers around the globe,” commented John Condon, Vice President, Americas Channel Sales, PTC. “Our aim is to offer customers a broader range of resources. BWIR specializes in the integration of the industry’s most advanced IT and enterprise solutions; this alliance supports the diverse technology and process optimization needs of our engineering and manufacturing customers.”
