Windchill’s continuously strong presence in the PLM market shows our commitment to innovation and excellence. Our customers benefit from Secure Enterprise Collaboration both inside and outside the enterprise with IP- and platform-based protections. Our closed-loop, model-based digital thread strategy ensures that customers benefit from an efficient product development and lifecycle management process focused on data traceability. Our SaaS strategy with Windchill+ delivers all the benefits of Windchill with the added benefits of SaaS (i.e real-time collaboration, lower total cost of ownership, etc.).

Mark Lobo, PTC's General Manager of PLM, shared his thoughts on this accomplishment: "Being recognized as a PLM Technology Leader for six years is a great achievement. This year, we highlighted four strategies that power the seamless flow of information on the digital thread: Secure Enterprise Collaboration; Closed-Loop Quality; Modular Platform Development; and Concurrent Manufacturing. We are also continuing to invest in SaaS to accelerate this value beyond a traditional customized on-premises solution.”

In addition, Arena excels in helping agile manufacturers meet today’s product launch challenges. The platform offers and seamlessly connects PLM and quality management system (QMS) capabilities, streamlining product development and ensuring regulatory compliance. Customers benefit from improved collaboration across dispersed teams and supply chains as well as streamlined design, sourcing, and delivery of top-quality products. Arena keeps customers ahead of global regulatory requirements effortlessly, ensuring customers meet FDA, ISO, EU MDR, RoHS, ITAR, EAR, cybersecurity, and other regulations.

David Katzman, PTC’s General Manager of the Velocity Group, is proud of Arena's role in contributing to PTC's Technology Leadership this year. “Arena’s focus on agile product development, product-centric QMS tailored for the medical devices industry, and the seamless connection of the Arena and Onshape cloud-native PLM and CAD solutions underscores our commitment to innovation. This synergy not only sets us apart but motivates us to maintain the trust of a loyal customer base that we’ve had since our start-up days in 2000. Now, as part of PTC, we are in as strong a position as ever to continue providing the best cloud-native PLM and QMS solution to the market.”

The recognition by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions reaffirms PTC's position as a front runner in the PLM market. We extend our gratitude to our customers, partners, and employees for their support and dedication.
