NEEDHAM,
MA, July 29, 2008 - PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), The Product Development Company,
announced today that it is has been selected by EADS to harmonize enterprise
PLM solutions across all EADS business divisions as part of EADS’s PHENIX
initiative. PHENIX is an EADS cross-divisional program and a group-wide
strategic initiative launched in 2007 to achieve harmonization of enterprise
PLM methods, processes and tools between business units.
EADS is making a major stride towards harmonizing its landscape and as a
result will improve communications between its divisions, reduce
time-to-market and increase overall product quality. PTC’s Windchill will
provide EADS with a single system that will act as the enterprise PLM
backbone for its product development. As a result, EADS will launch the
PHENIXCHANGE product, to be developed based on PTC’s Windchill, as the
common enterprise PLM solution for future programs of all EADS Divisions.
“The entire Group will benefit tremendously from this new partnership and
from the creation of a harmonized PLM environment, which leads to cost
savings, reduced time-to-market and improved product quality. The harmonized
work-flow also improves the communication between the divisions and among
each player in world-wide cooperation. We found that PTC came up with the
most convincing solution and best serves our business needs. Congratulations
to PTC and to the head of PHENIX, Jean-Yves Mondon, and his team for their
contribution towards a more integrated EADS,” said Jean Botti, EADS chief
technical officer.
The selection of a single provider for complex data management is an
important milestone for the EADS cross-divisional PHENIX program and will
further EADS advancements in achieving the harmonization of PLM methods,
processes and tools between the operational units.
“To select a single provider for such an important service to EADS was
not an easy decision,” adds Jean-Yves Mondon, vice president and head of
PHENIX project, EADS. “An extensive selection process was therefore
performed within the PHENIX program, which has been recognized by the
independent PLM organization Collaborative Product Development Associates,
LLC (CPDA) of Stamford, Connecticut as a reference benchmark for PLM
provider selection.”
“PTC technology has been selected to become the basis for EADS PHENIX
enterprise PLM solution after an extensive benchmark of leading PLM
solutions. We are very pleased that Windchill, our PLM software ultimately
best met EADS’ requirements,” said C. Richard Harrison, president and CEO,
PTC. “Obviously, we feel that this selection underscores PTC’s strength in
the product development industry and we look forward to a continued
partnership with EADS to further their advancements in achieving a
harmonized PLM environment.”
