Connected Product Usage Analysis Case Study Challenges The company was looking to have a smooth implementation but didn’t have the required technical resources with Apache and PTC Windchill skills inhouse From previous experience the decision-makers knew that a PLM implementation could be a complex project and that they needed skilled resources to guarantee PTC Windchill FlexPLM would run at optimal performance and stability. However, they were looking to buy this expertise and not build it internally in order to get a headstart Value Drivers Colony Brands had developed a risk management plan for implementing PTC Windchill FlexPLM which relies on leveraging PTC Cloud Services taking over the application management (AMS) of the system. By having experts configure, tune, and support the system, they would be able to avoid performance issues or creating an unstable system Founded in 1926, Colony Brands quickly evolved to one of the world’s largest and most successful catalog companies, employing over 4,500 people. Colony Brands successfully implemented PTC Windchill FlexPLM in the Cloud which aligns with their overall IT strategy to move all hardware and application management into the Cloud.
