PTC® is one of the world’s largest software companies,with a total commitment to product development andproduct lifecycle management (PLM). PTC develops,markets and supports software solutions using a ProductFirst® philosophy—the belief that great products makegreat companies by setting them apart from thecompetition—that allows manufacturers to not onlysucceed, but thrive. Today more than 42,000 customersuse PTC PLM solutions to help them bring their productsto market quickly and cost effectively.

Pro/ENGINEER WildfirePro/ENGINEER® Wildfire® is PTC’s leading productdesign and development solution, helping engineersspeed time to market, improve product quality and lowerproduct costs. The latest version offers groundbreakingcapabilities that improve productivity for both users andorganizations. Pro/ENGINEER offers a 64-bit version thatruns on HP’s Intel® Core™ 2 Duoiii, Intel Xeon® and AMDOpteron™-based workstations, further enhancing itspower and productivity.

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire offers an industry standard 3Ddrawing capability incorporated directly into the coreproduct. This allows companies to reduce opportunitiesfor misinterpretation and eliminates or decreases relianceon traditional 2D drawing. Pro/ENGINEER also supportsCAD interoperability with all the major CAD systems anddelivers other leading tools.

Windchill®Windchill eliminates barriers to allow greater customerinput and enhance collaboration, effectively bringingtogether the right people at every step in the productlifecycle. Windchill, which now combines WindchillProjectLink™ and Windchill PDMLink® into a single system, isout-of-the-box, industry-proven, and easy to use. It requiresonly a Web browser to enable manufacturers to streamlineprocesses, fuel innovation and deliver superior products.

PTC

Integrated product development systemPTC has tightly integrated its three core products—Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Windchill PDMLink andWindchill ProjectLink, plus Arbortext®—into the flexible,integral system that discrete manufacturers need. Using anaggressive testing standard, PTC helps ensure that theseproducts work in a seamless fashion across standardbusiness processes.

PTC’s product development system automates PLMbusiness processes while managing interdependenciesacross different forms of product information, so that allthe players in the product value chain understand howtheir inputs affect an overall product. This system is aconfiguration of specific PTC technologies that delivercomplete system support for a wide range of productdevelopment processes.

The result is a highly differentiated solution with a broadcapability footprint and a clean, integral architecture.This pre-integrated solution can be easily implemented,thereby lowering risk and total-cost-of-ownership andspeeding time-to-value.

HP Performance Tuning FrameworkThis exclusive HP tool—pre-installed on all HP PersonalWorkstations—makes it a snap to configure and updateHP workstations, improving stability and performance.HP Performance Tuning Framework (PTF) has manyfeatures to help you work faster and more productively,while reducing hassles. For example, HP PTF can:

• Provide a detailed configuration report so you caneasily find out what is on your system, helping youcreate a “custom” configuration that matches yourrequirements and even aid in support calls.

• Organize graphics driver certification informationto help make informed decisions when loading thelatest drivers.

• Track memory use and graphically display howyour applications and processes use physical andvirtual memory.

• Configure various performance, security anduser-interface settings of Microsoft Windows XP.

But that is not all. HP PTF offers various other operatingsystem tuning controls and application specific features.And did we mention, it’s free?

HP SpacePilotThe HP SpacePilot 3D motion controller allows you touse one hand to manipulate your Pro/ENGINEER designwhile the other uses a traditional mouse to executecommands and edit the design—greatly increasingproductivity. In addition, HP offers a unique enhancementfor the HP SpacePilot motion controller through the HPPerformance Tuning Framework that simplifies set-up time.
