By DE Editors

PTC (Needham, MA) announced that Black & Decker (Towson, MD) selected Windchill for strategic product lifecycle management (PLM) initiatives in its Industrial Products Group. The implementation includes Windchill PDMLink, Windchill ProjectLink, Windchill PartsLink, and Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration (ESI) to SAP. Black & Decker will also take advantage of PTC services and educational offerings.

Black & Decker required a PLM solution that would enable it to accelerate time-to-market without compromising quality and innovation. Equally important was the company's desire to maximize its technology investment using a solution that would support the complex collaboration and data management requirements of its heterogeneous CAD environment and global product development initiatives.

Windchill helps companies control product development data and enable internal and external product development collaboration. It provides discrete manufacturers like Black & Decker a solution that advances their strategic initiatives in product quality, time-to-market, and innovation. Plus, it offers a high-quality and low-risk technology solution, providing a low total cost of ownership.
