Windchill PLM Connector
Exchange product information across different PLM systems
Naturally, product development teams need to exchange information with other groups, including external partners and internal teams. Yet, each different organization often uses its own PLM system. Friction and miscommunication may arise when one group imposes software usage requirements on the other, or when both organizations opt for a “shortcut,” and work outside the context of a data managed environment. By enabling the exchange of Pro/ENGINEER files and associated metadata across Windchill-based systems, Windchill PLM Connector offers a needed solution.
