US Army Picks PTC Windchill PLM as Official ePDM Solution

PTC reports that the U.S. Army has designated the Windchill® product lifecycle management (PLM) solution as its official Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform. The U.S. Army, through a DEVCOM‑led initiative, is advancing a modern PLM environment to improve the management, governance, and reuse of authoritative product data across the Army enterprise.

Enterprise Product Data Management (ePDM) has been designated as the Department of the Army Approved Data Platform (DADP) and serves as the system of record for Product Data Management and Product Lifecycle Management information in accordance with Army Data Platforms Guidance. ePDM enables governed enterprise workflows, configuration management, and business processes supporting weapon system development, production, and sustainment, while enabling the Army to improve data quality, reduce redundancy, and strengthen cybersecurity across the Army enterprise, PTC reports.

With Windchill and the rest of its portfolio, PTC is delivering on its vision for the Intelligent Product Lifecycle: enabling manufacturers and product companies to build a product data foundation in engineering, and extend the value of that data across their enterprise. Greater use of product data enables companies to bring higher quality products to market faster, better manage complexity, meet regulatory standards, and much more.
