PTC Navigate - Simplified PLM Access for Better Collaboration.pdf
- 1. PTC.com Page 1 of 2 | PTC Navigate Product data is your organization’s most valuable asset. Decisions made with this information can greatly impact your business, including product safety and reliability, speed of innovation, on–time and on–budget delivery, and more. To realize the business benefits of good decisions–and to avoid the repercussions of bad ones–it is essential that stakeholders throughout your organization can access the most up-to-date product information whenever they need it. Why PTC Navigate? Most enterprise software tools are inaccessible to a broad range of users due to costly licensing, intensive training, and the time it takes to integrate and customize them. Stakeholders who aren’t experts often access and exchange data from these systems of record using disconnected processes and tools. These workarounds create a new instance of the data that is no longer under change control, so subsequent updates to the system of record make the workaround, and any decisions made with it, at best irrelevant–and at worst inaccurate. The Democratization of Product Data: PTC Navigate is a revolutionary new set of applications that let more stakeholders across a company access and impact product data sourced from multiple systems of record in a simple, role-based interface. With a modern user experience that is as easy to use as a smartphone app, PTC Navigate is ideal for any stakeholder throughout a product’s lifecycle that needs access to the latest, most accurate information to drive critical decisions. PTC Navigate integrates directly with enterprise systems of record while delivering a highly intuitive user experience: ensuring accuracy, confidence, and the highest degree of fidelity to your product’s data.
