云部署中的最后一个持有人之一，PTC昨天宣布它将其Windchill PLM软件移植到云端。它似乎的目标是解决小于中型（SMB）商业市场的需求，这是一个主要被遗弃在PLM市场的人口。这些公司通常没有IT资源支持全面的PLM部署，并更喜欢SaaS业务模式，使其能够灵活，基于订阅的定价。
The PTC PLM Cloud is based on PTC Windchill, a proven technology with over 1.5 million seats deployed and a platform that was designed from the beginning as a web-based approach to PLM. The result is a true PLM cloud solution, specifically designed to enable team collaboration and product data sharing. This accelerates product development and helps design teams that are stretched across different locations, working with varying CAD applications or coordinating with partners and suppliers.
PTC云产品消除了共享文件夹和文件命名约定的典型但危险的SMB实践，可以妨碍产品开发。在云中共享更有效和可靠的数据共享，客户能够在不同地点的团队中提高产品开发，团队使用不同的CAD应用程序，以及与产品开发过程中不断增长的部分的合作伙伴和供应商等外部团队。
“The value of PTC PLM Cloud is clear,” said Peter Bilello, President, CIMdata. “PTC’s offering has been designed to allow smaller companies, which have previously been unable to rapidly implement PLM capabilities, to quickly deploy and adopt key data management, visualization and reuse functionality. Those are all vital capabilities for any company in the business of developing products.”
