How will the Arbortext solutions complement the PTC product portfolio?
PTC and Arbortext solutions are complementary and there is no capability overlap. With this acquisition, PTC can deliver Arbortext’s solutions in conjunction with PTC’s product development system for the benefit of PTC’s existing customers. For example, manufacturing companies will now be able to develop assembly instructions, maintenance manuals, test plans, and owner’s manuals, concurrently with the development of their products. These documents will be associative with the product model, enabling product changes to be reflected immediately in the documents. Furthermore, the documents will be relevant for their audiences and can be published on demand. Additionally, PTC will maintain the flexibility and openness of Arbortext and our own solutions to work with a variety of information sources, content management systems and other enterprise software solutions for the benefit of existing and potential customers.
