I want to come back to you with another email reminder to get involved and participate in the events that are currently running on PTC IdeaSite. IdeaSite is PTC's new Web 2.0 platform for gathering customer input on key R&D initiatives in an open and collaborative manner. These events are open to PTC customers in order for us to hear your voice. As a reminder, the 4 events are running until March 13, 2008.
There have been some very good ideas submitted so far. Here are what some of your fellow users are saying...
* "Product Cost Management" Event: Vitaliano Fabrice has submitted an idea that the solution needs "to balance cost (with) value per features". He is saying that it is important to identify value per feature in addition to cost stacks (e.g. raw material, labor, COGS) in order to focus on the most important features to bring to market first. (submitted Feb 20, 2009)
* "Mathcad - Pro/E Interoperability" Event: David Hickerson has provided good feedback from a Mathcad users perspective about what to do and not do when implementing improved Mathcad-Pro/E interoperabiltity. For example, he points out that PTC should not require Pro/E in order to run Mathcad to make interoperability happen. (submitted Feb 18, 2009)
* "Windchill System Monitoring" Event: Cecil Sebate has been advocating for a Windchill System Monitoring Dashboard to highlight problem areas and because dashboards can help stakeholders come to common place to define/agree on problems and resolutions. Cecil has been very active on IdeaSite. Come see his comments (last submitted Mar 3, 2009)
* "Conceptual Engineering" Event: Hugo Hermans has suggested the usage of mindmapping in this new conceptual engineering solution. He comments that maybe PTC have a "look to Mindmanager from Mindjet, or Freemind (sourceforge.org). By connecting topics from the mindmap to geometry and graphical items, an extra dimension in the design process will be introduced." (submitted Feb 22, 2009)
This is great feedback and I am sure there is a much more out there. If you have an idea, please contribute. If not, please look around the website and comment on other people's ideas or star rate them. PTC is eager to learn what the collective community desires and we will only find that out if you are actively involved. These projects are under active development and we are looking for your input.
