Software manages product lifecycles for NASA
NASA's Johnson Space Center is realising significant benefits with its production-level implementation of PTC Windchill Applications and services for product lifecycle management (PLM).
Increasing complexity, heightened competition and the need to optimise product development processes in a globally distributed environment are common challenges for many manufacturing companies.
Windchill, an integral component of the PTC Product Development System (PDS), delivers the collaboration and data management capabilities needed to speed time to market, increase product quality, and reduce product development costs.
The ability to deploy Windchill on SQL Server 2005 will allow customers using the Microsoft database to take advantage of Windchill for strategic product lifecycle management (PLM) initiatives.
"SQL Server 2005 provides a powerful, scalable and secure database platform that complements the powerful content and process management capabilities of PTC's Windchill", said Don Richardson, Director, Global PLM Industry Strategy at Microsoft Corporation.
"Microsoft is pleased to work with Gold Certified, global partners such as PTC that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to help customers achieve success in their product development initiatives".
"Speed, scalability, and cost effectiveness are critical to product development organisations of all sises", said Brian Shepherd, Division Vice President, Product Management, PTC.
"Our close relationship with Microsoft has allowed PTC to deliver these attributes to our customers via Windchill running on Microsoft SQL Server 2005".
"The combination is an outstanding system for product development and innovation".
Initial support for SQL Server 2005 is currently scheduled to be available in April 2007 in the next maintenance release of Windchill (Windchill 8.0 M040), and is expected to include all nine Windchill supported languages.
Windchill will support the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, Standard and Workgroup Editions.
The timing of any product release, including any features or functionality, is subject to change at PTC's discretion.
