NEC to Sell PTC PLM Products in Japan

NEEDHAM, MA, Dec 9, 2009 - PTC Japan, (PTC, HQ: Massachusetts, US, Nasdaq: PMTC), a leading provider of PLM solutions, and NEC, a leading provider of IT and networking solutions, today announced that they have signed an enterprise alliance agreement enabling NEC to resell PTC PLM solutions. Under the agreement, the two companies will also collaborate on marketing and promotional activities with focus on sales of PTC's PLM software to Japanese owned companies worldwide.

The PTC Product Development System is comprised of Pro/ENGINEER for CAD/CAM/CAE product design, Windchill PLM software to manage and configure complete product development content, Arbortext for product information delivery, Mathcad for engineering calculations, ProductView to visualize digital product content, and InSight for product analytics.

NEC will incorporate PTC's leading PLM software solutions, including Windchill and Pro/ENGINEER, that have a demonstrated record of success in the global market, as key offerings in its PLM solution lineup. NEC expects that the addition of the PTC solutions will help it to expand its business in Japan as well as in other parts of the globe, and is particularly focused on Asia. NEC Software Kyushu has already begun offering the PTC solutions to customers.

Companies in the manufacturing and retail industries today are under intense pressure to accelerate time-to-market and to globalize product planning and engineering operations. As a result, they have become increasingly interested in PLM solutions, which can help improve product development processes and ultimately help increase competitive advantage in these industries. This alliance is in response to such market trends.

"Partnering with leading Japanese IT companies, such as NEC, is an important part of PTC's global business strategy," said Paul J. Cunningham, executive vice president, Worldwide Sales, PTC. "Combining NEC's IT and PLM expertise and experience and PTC's leading technology, will further expand our technology leadership position in the product development market and help maximize the value we provide to our customers in Japan and other parts of Asia."

"PTC has a proven track record in the global market. By adding PTC solutions to NEC's portfolio, we believe we will be able to see synergy of solutions from both companies and strengthen our PLM business in and outside Japan," says Yasujiro Ryuno, Associate Senior Vice President, NEC Corporation.
