Video Interview Scripts: Jean-Brice Dumont
Interviewee: Jean-Brice, EVP of Engineering, CTO
Interview day/time: Thursday, November 26 [Time TBD]
Interview location: TBD
Overview of Interviews
Jean-Brice Dumont will participate in two interviews during a single filming
session.
The first interview will be a highlight of PTC’s Windchill 11 global launch
event in mid-December.
The second interview will help anchor a video case study that delves into
the partnership between Airbus Helicopters and PTC.
Filming specifications for both videos:
Similar Windchill launch videos were shot with Canon C300s (Airbus need
not duplicate these cameras; this is only noted for reference)
Shot 23.968 fps
Time-of-day timecode
Interviewee had a lav microphone and shotgun and identical sound was
recorded on both cameras
Here is a link to a video that shows the framing of two of three recent
interviews; Camera A being the primary and Camera B being the cutaway.
We shot one looking screen left and the other screen right.

Interview 1: Windchill Launch Video
Question script:
What makes Airbus Helicopters a special company?
Tell us about the culture at Airbus Helicopters.
Can you tell us about your products? Who uses them, in what countries?
Can you describe how Airbus Helicopters continues to innovate its
2. helicopter designs, and what drive those innovative techniques?
Discuss the strategic business objectives that drive Airbus Helicopters’
product development, and how the market forces that drive that.
What are important trends in aviation design today and over the next few
years?
Can you share with the story of your next product, the H160?
What challenges do you have when it comes to introducing new
products?
o Talking points: Time to market and continuous competition from
other vendors
How did PLM help you move past those challenges?
o Talking points: PLM is a central part of how we develop
products. All teams are working together to review and improve
designs, share information, and improve innovation
What value does Windchill deliver to Airbus Helicopters?
o Talking points: The ability to deliver high-quality products on
schedule because we have standard processes and a central source
of design info
What are you looking forward to in the future with WIndchill?
o Talking points: PTC has certainly taken a huge step forward with
their newest release of WIndchill, in that it now combines their IoT
technology. This will really open up who uses the data and how it is
used, and will also provide new insights as connected product
information comes back to engineering. We look forward to
defining and implementing those aspects.
Interview 2: Video Case Study focused on Airbus Helicopters–
PTC Partnership
Interview Script:
Introduction: Tell us your name and what you do here at Airbus Helicopters.
Question 1:
What benefits has the H160 program received from the Windchill technology and
PTC Global Services consultants?
Answer 1 talking points:
Early in the H160 program, Airbus Helicopters’ parent company, Airbus Group,
selected PTC Windchill as its standard PLM solution. Airbus Helicopters planned

program and create competitive differentiation for this aircraft.
The Global Services team has been a trusted advisor in helping us transform
product development.
Today, with their help, our product-release process is now run inside
Windchill. This means we control, track, and review information throughout the
design cycle. Once the information is approved it is shared with our ERP and
production systems
