Gold Medal Performances: Honoring Top PTC Partners

Despite what appeared to be nearly insurmountable obstacles, the Olympics is now streaming on televisions across the globe. Once again, we watch athletes at the pinnacle of their performance, making the near-impossible appear effortless and the death-defying both graceful and fluid. Despite the outward calm these athletes project, we know that behind each composed face lies determination borne from years of sacrifice and strenuous preparation.

Since joining PTC in 2018, I have had the honor and privilege of stewarding the PTC Partner Network into the double-digit sales engine it is today. The strength and determination of our partner community never ceases to inspire me. Today our partner ecosystem spans the smallest and largest technology providers on the planet, and collectively contributes over one-third of PTC’s annual recurring revenue.

It is my honor to congratulate the following winners of the PTC Partner Network Award quantitative categories. Like our Olympic champions, these partners overcame myriad challenges, in an extraordinary year, to bring home the gold.

Note: We’ve previously written about the stories behind the qualitative awards, as well as our Partners of the Year.

(Greatest of All Time) performance leader, recognized as PTC Partner of the Year and winner of the Greatest Number of New Customers and Greatest New ACV Bookings awards. This triple-play powerhouse was also a finalist for the Transformation in Community Impact award.

For the past three years, PTC and Rockwell have shared a special relationship based on a common commitment to factory innovation and instantiated through best-in-class Industry 4.0 offerings. Rockwell Automation secured an amazing 100 new engagements through our PTC partnership, all while bringing in the most bookings revenue as measured by Annual Contract Value (ACV).

Adept in multiple industries and technology disciplines, Kalypso was also a multi-award winner. The company won the System Integrator Partner of the Year award and Greatest Growth of ACV award and placed as a finalist in the Transformation in Connected Products award, bringing home (what would be) the silver and bronze for two separate submissions in the Transformation in Connected Products award. Way to go, Kalypso!
