Lockheed Martin Unit Selects PTC’s Windchill

By DE Editors

PTC (Needham, MA) announced that Lockheed Martin’s Electronic Systems has selected Windchill, PTC’s PLM solution, to replace its multiple legacy product data management systems. Windchill will allow Electronic Systems, which is one of Lockheed Martin‘s (Bethesda, MD) four business areas, to move toward a consolidated technology platform for managing all critical product information.

Lockheed Martin Electronic Systems will use Windchill to support change and configuration management in the production of key military systems and to smooth the IT consolidation among its multiple lines of business. Plus, Windchill will enable Electronic Systems to share design details early in the design process to better inform its decision makers and to provide visibility and traceability during the entire development effort.

In addition to Windchill, Lockheed uses other products within the PTC Product Development System (PDS), including Pro/ENGINEER for digital product designs, Mathcad for engineering calculations, and Arbortext for dynamic publishing.

PTC also announced that it has been rated in the top ten of the CMO Council’s Customer Affinity Index of Top 75 IT Brands Ranked by IT Buyer. The sole PLM company on the list, PTC says it outranked other globally recognized business-to-business technology vendors including IBM, Microsoft, Dell Computer, and Oracle.
