PTC Receives Multi-Year Multi-Million Dollar Order From 13 U.S. Federal Laboratories And Facilities

PTC announced that 13 federal laboratories and facilities, led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, have broadened their use of PTC solutions to include Windchill, Arbortext, ProductView, Mathcad and Pro/ENGINEER.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory led discussions with PTC on behalf of the federal facilities to fashion this software purchase agreement, which will provide a comprehensive suite of PTC's solutions called the Product Development System (PDS). The PDS will be used to create detailed digital product information that allows customers to collaborate with distributed project teams, suppliers, and partners while controlling content and providing configuration management of product and services. The PTC PDS uniquely delivers all these capabilities, on an integral, Web-based architecture that supports today's distributed digital environment. Overall, the concept of an integral system helps increase efficiencies by reducing errors around version control, which streamlines the entire product development process.

"PTC is dedicated to providing technology solutions as well as process development strategies that consistently deliver value to long-term customers such as these prestigious institutions," said Dick Harrison, president and CEO, PTC. "Additionally, we understand the mission critical nature of the aerospace and defense industry and will continue to invest in comprehensive capabilities that will support its high standards in product development."
