Based on my experience in the majority of large companies there is a huge need to connect different tools from different vendors.

The discussion I would like to launch in this context is: can ThingWorx be used as the tool "integrator" between PTC and 3rd parties tools?

Example of a use case: collector \ integrator between Windchill and a 3rd party tools (ALM -requirements management system > keep the link across  artifacts from different tools platforms and keep traceability (changes impacts \ alerts)

Hi @AD_10358857.

 

ThingWorx can serve as an integrator between PTC products, such as Windchill, as well as third-party tools, including ALM and requirements management systems.  It offers Integration Connectors that facilitate connections to both PTC services and external applications. 

 

For example, the WindchillSwaggerConnector allows you to connect to Windchill REST endpoints, enabling seamless data exchange with other systems.

This capability supports the collection and management of artifacts across different platforms, ensuring traceability and effective management of change impacts.

 

For more information refer to Integration Connectors documentation in the ThingWorx Help Center.
