BAE selects PTC's Windchill platform as enterprise standard
BAE Systems has selected PTC'S Windchill PLM solution as its enterprise standard for product development.
The defence giant said the move was part of its plan to move away from a number of disparate, disconnected databases.
BAE will use the platform for collaboration, CAD data management and change & configuration management.
Described by the company as "the largest software release in PTC's history", Windchill version 10.0 is designed to enable manufacturers to do more throughout the product lifecycle, know more about product performance and get more value from PLM.
PTC claims it allows customers to more effectively define, manage, and validate complete bills of material, providing linkages across domain-specific views of product structures throughout the entire lifecycle.
