Skidmore Owings and Merrill, an industrials organization in the United States, uses Windchill from PTC to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because simulation has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Skidmore Owings and Merrill grew simulation faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Analysts and design leads were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Windchill put virtual testing on PTC. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. Skidmore Owings and Merrill keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so analysts and design leads do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier virtual testing. Simulation is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join analysts and design leads without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
