Your business teams are demanding more at lightning
speed from your PLM solution and processes.
Windchill 11, a PTC Solution, offers the first PLM platform to
deliver groundbreaking new technological advancements in
product development data and processes. Learn, how PTC
Global Services can assist you in leveraging this new
release - fast and in the optimal way for your business.
While the exciting features of Windchill 11 offer
great value to your organization, there may be
barriers preventing you from moving quickly to
leverage these. An existing customized solution,
out-of-date working practices, or a misaligned PLM
strategy can mean significant burden on your IT,
product and engineering teams. There is risk that
your new, upgraded solution will not meet your
market-driven business initiatives. You need a way
to reduce solution complexity, de-risk the upgrade,
and modernize your use of the solution so you can
confidently move at the speed your business
requires to develop new products faster.

PTC’ Global Services will help you determine the
right approach for the upgrade of your current
PLM solution so you can see increased value
from Windchill 11 - quickly. Below are PTC’s
recommended approaches to Windchill
upgrade scenarios:
• Evaluate overall PLM strategy – Leverage PTC’s
point of view on your key PLM processes and to
validate your to-be PLM vision.
