PLM Meets Green Innovation with Frost & Sullivan Award for PTC

December 23, 2011

We saw this write-up PTC Named Winner of 2011 Frost & Sullivan Global Green Excellence in Product Innovation Award and it made us wonder if maybe we had missed something significant.

PTC was ranked against comparable vendors in a variety of categories and came out on top for the Windchill® Product Analytics suite. It is great that manufacturers are working hard on environmental improvements and as we read the article it became obvious that the pressure is deeper than a commitment to sustainability.

The article explains:

According to Frost & Sullivan best practices research, the drive among manufacturers to improve the environmental performance of their products is gaining momentum every day. Not only have business-to-business customers and consumers demonstrated a clear preference for more sustainable products and “greener” brands, but investors are now pressuring manufacturers as well.

These motivators as well as additional regulatory requirements are a good driver for “green” innovation.  Green innovation is a marvelous accomplishment.

If you are seeking systemic innovation it may be worthwhile to get a good handle on your data through effective data management.  The effectiveness of the Inforbix data management solution for product lifecycle management may be just the tool needed for system wide innovations.
