PTC (formerly Parametric Technology Corporation) is a computer software and services company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company was a pioneer in parametric, associative feature-based, solid computer-aided design (CAD) modeling software in 1988, including an Internet-based product for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), in 1998. PTC also offers market-leading Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) products to complete the full product lifecycle and support a closed-loop digital thread.

Accelerating PLM adoption requires more than technology — it requires people to embrace new ways of working. At PTC, Organizational Change Management (OCM) is not a side activity, but woven into how we engage with customers globally. In this vignette, we will discuss how our worldwide CSM community, together with OCM experts and trusted partners, applies a structured approach to build readiness, align stakeholders, and mobilize change advocates. An industry example of how embedding OCM into the PLM journey reduces risk, accelerates adoption, and unlocks the full business value of their PLM investment will be included.
Manufacturers have never needed real-time information sharing, dynamic data visualization, and the ability to collaborate more than they do today. With easy, secure data access for multi-disciplinary and geographically distributed teams, quality-focused processes, and data-driven approaches to manufacturing, Windchill elevates how product development gets done. Windchill’s open architecture enables easy integration with other enterprise systems, including SAP ERP, providing a solid foundation for a product-driven digital thread. PTC's PLM system offers comprehensive, out-of-the-box functionality and highly configurable, role- and task-based applications. Expand self-service access of traceable product data to non-experts who don’t typically use PLM while avoiding over-customization and complexity.
Codebeamer extends ALM with product line configuration capabilities, providing unique configurability for complex processes. It offers digital workflows for efficiency in collaborative development and regulatory compliance support and integrates with other PTC products to connect to the engineering digital thread. Our MBSE solution, Modeler, can support seamless integrations with Codebeamer as part of PTC's ALM portfolio. PTC Modeler (formerly Windchill Modeler) helps your systems, software, and product line engineers create consistent, high-quality models to communicate requirements, identify key functions, consider design alternatives, and make good trade-off decisions.
Creo is a parametric 3D CAD system that helps you deliver your best designs in less time. Manufacturers rely on Creo to maximize the value of their CAD system, with fully integrated design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. Creo delivers model-based product development, real-time simulation, generative design, and streamlined workflows for composites, additive, and subtractive manufacturing. Easy-to-use core modeling tools help improve productivity every day. Creo is fully associative, meaning changes are automatically propagated across the value chain.
