Story
Inside Microsoft Teams, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Microsoft Teams uses ThingWorx from PTC as the working layer for simulation. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Microsoft Teams gets from PTC is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
