REALIZING VALUE WITH PTC

introduction

At PTC, our business is product development, and our objective is to provide customers with
the best Product Lifecycle Management ( PLM ) and Enterprise Content Management ( ECM) solutions.
For more than two decades, PTC has delivered industry leading software solutions to enterprise and small
business customers spanning multiple industries.

Our ever-expanding product families and customer base are a testament to our commitment to product
development excellence.

Over the past several years, selling software services and solutions has dramatically changed. The promise
of innovation has been replaced with the demand for bottom-line financial impact — what’s the cost, what’s the
return, how soon, and how can you prove it? Buyers of technology are increasingly looking to vendors to provide
credible ROI analysis — what PTC refers to as R E A L I Z E D VA L U E .

Realized value identifies the challenges customers have throughout product development, and documents how
PTC’s offerings positively impact their business. PTC provides the customer with not only product development
improvements, but also with the ability to measure the value realized over time. Such realized value reinforces
that PTC has taken careful consideration to build value into its products and services with a deep understanding
of the customer’s business.

introduction
In this booklet you will see how
PTC customers around the world
have benefited from PTC’s products,
ser vices, and training. Cost-
savings, revenue growth,
shorter time-to-market, reduced
production cycles, and increased
quality are quantitative metrics.
However, the inherent benefits
of measuring realized value go
well beyond the numerical result.
Realized value provides a process
for the customer to quantify
the enduring business benefits
obtained from implementing and
adopting PTC solutions.
