From globalized supply chains to increasing customer demands, the process of developing a winning product is more challenging than ever. In today's distributed manufacturing environment, success is found in the ability to effectively manage complexity and variability. Therefore, it's critical that your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution offers a combination of flexibility and control.

This is where PTC's approach to PLM is unique. Our Product Development System (PDS) is a configuration of PTC solutions, specifically designed and tested together to give companies the three key capabilities necessary for successful product development:

• Create detailed and intuitive digital product information.
• Collaborate to manage critical opportunities and engage project teams, customers, suppliers and partners.
• Control processes, such as change management and design review.

The PTC Product Development System is built on a flexible architecture that manages interdependencies across all forms of product information. This ensures a seamless workflow across product development processes and a smooth transformation of inputs into outputs.

With eighteen years of experience in product development, PTC has developed a solid understanding of the unique PLM needs of manufacturing companies. The Product Development System is designed to help you optimize the specific product development processes most important to your business.
