 PDF Key takeaways: PTC Global Support has been re-engineered to align with customers’ needs based on extensive customer feedback PTC’s support offerings can be personalized for individual users via a new web portal, and include pro-active, social components Support is embedded within PTC software to provide quick access to traditional support features as well as the capability to provide contextually-relevant answers delivered within the application Software Support Drives Full Value of PLM Developing a product, bringing it to market, and supporting it through its operational life are at the core of a product company. Applying the latest Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) enabling technology ensures that the latest and most complete product related information is captured and managed using the applicable control processes throughout the product’s lifecycle. But ensuring that a company is receiving the full value from its PLM software investment is not a one-time event; it’s a continuous process. To deliver short- and long-term value

 PDF Key takeaways: Consolidating your data allows process streamlining and system reduction, improving company performance and reducing IT costs Using the right process, people and tools makes data migration and consolidation a straightforward, predictable project I-Cubed has a proven data migration methodology that reduces the time, cost, and risk associated with global data consolidation Introduction Achieving success in bringing a product to market requires expertise, planning and experience. As the Russian author Anton Chekhov said, “Only entropy comes easy.” Customer requirements are becoming more stringent, material and labor costs are going up, and regulation is increasing. Companies are trying to do more with less to ensure profitability and customer satisfaction. Over the last twenty-five years, the prevalence of computing throughout the complete product lifecycle process has lead to rapid development of product related content. The data supporting this content is often distributed, and even duplicated, across many independent repositories, including homegrown data management systems, commercial data

 PDF Key takeaways: Companies are striving to apply simulation early in the product development cycle, where systems engineering is often used to allocate requirements and to define and evaluate multi-discipline tradeoffs. The majority of product lifecycle cost is determined by decisions made early in the development process. The decisions upon which costs are based become very expensive to alter or correct later in the process. Products are no longer simply mechanical systems. Model-based systems engineering can be used to enable collaboration across multiple engineering (e.g., mechanical electrical, software, and controls) and other enterprise disciplines (e.g., purchasing, finance, and project management). CIMdata believes that systems engineering will become the pervasive paradigm for product development, supporting and promoting a systems thinking mindset. Companies have always faced intense competitive pressure to develop products better, faster, and cheaper. Simulation is a key enabler to accomplishing this today and into the future. Improved software, better integration with design tools and faster
