Bosch Group Deploys Global Data Management Platform
In a joint project, Bosch Corporate Information Technology, part of Robert Bosch GmbH, and PTC global services are going to implement Windchill PDMLink to better manage Pro/ENGINEER data, which is the standard CAD/CAM/CAE solution at many Bosch business divisions. Bosch Group is a leading global supplier to the automotive industry but also offers a broad portfolio of industrial technology, power tools, security solutions and household appliances in more than 140 countries. The new platform reduces the number of system configurations and harmonizes data management at the different business units. The single platform enables the reuse of data within the business units and improves collaboration as more and more product information with increasing complexity has to be managed globally. The decision to implement the PTC Product Development System was also driven by Bosch's strategic requirement for a global Web-based IT architecture.
