Many product development companies today use multiple, disconnected Quality Management Systems across their organizations to address quality issues and their associated Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs). Without a single, centralized source for tracking and fixing these issues, key stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle lack visibility into quality data and processes, which can result in high Cost of Poor Quality, repeat issues, and safety risks.  The key to making this valuable quality data work better for your organization is to ensure it is accessible across the enterprise to the stakeholders who need it most: product engineers, management, and other teams throughout the lifecycle whose work impacts, or is impacted by, quality data and processes. This presentation will explore how a QMS CAPA solution that is seamlessly integrated with PLM technology enables better collaboration between Quality and Engineering teams. The presenter will discuss how it provides stak

PLM data delivers tremendous value for those that have access to the PLM system, however, those without direct access are still relying on inefficient data consumption methods. How do attendees delivery the value of PLM data to those who cannot access the PTC Windchill system directly? In this session presenters will explore three cases studies showing how valuable PLM data was shared with end users lacking direct access to the PTC Windchill system.Presented by: Shawn Lothrop, Boston Engineering CorporationSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

With the news last year that PTC was discontinuing support for Web Parts for SharePoint in Windchill 10.2, the ETRAGE integration solution is positioned to fill this void and provide extended functionality for a bi-directional exchange of data between the two systems. The ETRAGE integration for PTC Windchill and Microsoft SharePoint provides the ability to pass data and key information from system to system.  Companies that have integrated PTC Windchill and SharePoint do so for several reasons.  One is to provide a simpler interface for persons that are casual users who need to access PTC Windchill information infrequently, forget where the information is located and need to relearn the PTC Windchill interface.  A second reason is to provide a wider dissemination of PTC Windchill data to a company’s user base. And a third reason is to increase the value of the PTC Windchill and SharePoint investment. The integration delivers a robust, bidirectional exchange of data betwe
