Windchill Navigate for PLM Data

Get up-to-date PLM data into the hands of those that need it the most

Enable enterprise collaboration by providing real-time access to data

Windchill Navigate enables stakeholders throughout the organization to easily access the rich data stored within the organization’s enterprise system – no training required. With out-of-the-box (OOTB) role and task-based apps that provide contextualized information as well as the ability to easily customize apps to meet organizational needs, Windchill Navigate helps users spend less time searching for data and more time collaborating to: develop, manufacture, sell, and support world class products.

Connect to other enterprise systems

Because Windchill Navigate easily connects to other enterprise systems, such as ERP, you can provide mashups of information from non-PLM sources in-context without replicating data. These eliminate the need for personal spreadsheets and similar un-governed, disconnected tools.
