NEEDHAM, MA, Feb 19, 2016 – PTC announced that it has been named “Technology Leader in the Global IoT PLM Market” by global research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan. The 2015 Technology Leadership Award recognizes companies that lead the development and successful introduction of high-tech solutions that have altered the industry or business landscape, and that have helped to shape the future of technology and its uses.
The Frost & Sullivan award is based upon independent analysis of two key factors – “Technology Leverage,“ which includes innovation, creativity, technology incubation, commercialization success, and application diversity and “Business Impact,“ which includes financial performance, customer acquisition, operational efficiency, and growth potential.
The PTC Windchill 11 PLM software exemplifies PTC’s commitment to PLM technology innovation. Enabled by the PTC ThingWorx IoT technology, Windchill 11 integrates data from physical products, web-based resources, and enterprise software systems to enable increased access, insight, and value in a modern and easily consumable user experience.
