Windchill PLM
Windchill, PTC's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, helps you manage complex, cross-functional processes with standardized, out-of-the-box functionality across a comprehensive PDM portfolio and advanced PLM applications.
The Most Comprehensive PLM Solutions
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) helps you manage complex, cross-functional processes by coordinating the efforts of teams across different locations to develop products as efficiently as possible.
Manufacturers have never needed real-time information sharing, dynamic data visualization and collaboration capability more than they do today. Windchill fundamentally changes and improves how product development gets done for multi-disciplinary, geographically distributed teams with easy, secure data access, quality-focused processes and a data-driven approach to manufacturing.
Windchill's open architecture provides easy integration with other enterprise systems, including IoT. PTC's PLM system delivers comprehensive out-of-the-box functionality and highly configurable role- and task-based applications.
While avoiding excessive customization and complexity, you can extend self-service access to traceable product data to non-experts who don't typically use PLM.
Modern Architecture
Manage data at appropriate scale with web architecture.
Secure Collaboration
Work securely inside and outside your organization with IP and platform-based protections.
Easy Upgrades
Reduce user disruption by elevating data in place with time-saving automation.
