Federation Software Releases Value Chain Connector for Windchill ProjectLink
Federation Software announced the release of its Value Chain ConnectorT for Windchill ProjectLinkT, the PTC® solution for collaborative product development.
The Value Chain Connector (VCC) for Windchill ProjectLink allows disparate Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems to be connected bi-directionally to the Windchill ProjectLink system. The VCC works hand-in-hand with Federation's Independent Platform GatewayT (IPG) to precisely define product data your organization needs to share, and then actively transfers the data to the target systems you designate. IPG continuously and securely transmits updates to the data between the systems.
"With support for the latest version of Windchill ProjectLink, Federation Software enables customers to connect heterogeneous environments federating product data back and forth," said Kirk Hanes, CEO, Federation Software.
This latest Value Chain Connector frees up the product data stored in Windchill ProjectLink to be shared with other PLM systems among the extended enterprise, internally and externally. It is a full-featured adapter that supports reading from and writing to Windchill ProjectLink versions 6.2.6, 7.0, and 8.0. Having a connector of this nature addresses some of the primary challenges within project management -- integrating and managing disparate applications to facilitate workflow through dynamic, real-time relationships between buyers, suppliers and partners.
