Alliance To Partner on Digital Transformation Roadmap
PTC and global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler have announced a new alliance that will see Schaeffler standardize on PTC solutions to deploy an integrated, end-to-end IT landscape. Schaeffler also will inform PTC’s efforts to further develop and evolve market-specific standard solutions to better meet the needs of automotive and industrial companies.
Schaeffler plans to leverage PTC’s experience and robust end-to-end solutions to move from a customized engineering IT environment to using standard applications across the enterprise. This will enable prompt responses to rapidly changing requirements in a dynamic, competitive environment.
The alliance will focus on the optimization of the existing environment, as well as its expansion with projects such as Schaeffler’s Enterprise Traceability or Model-Based Enterprise and the deeper integration of software development tools. The goal is company-wide integration of the software and system development solutions (Application Lifecycle Management and Model-Based Systems Engineering). This also enables improvement in the mapping of critical systems engineering requirements, such as the fulfillment of varying country-specific safety regulations.
“Through our work with Schaeffler, we aim to advance and further develop market-specific digital transformation solutions,” said Jim Heppelmann, president and CEO, PTC. “Both companies will benefit from more robust collaboration.”
