Windchill 10.2 packaging

Hi folks,

We have Windchill instance hosted in the United States and 5 global replicas scattered throughout the world.  We are trying to get ODMs in Asia to adopt more typical usage using Creo / Windchill within the workspace but performance in some areas is very lack luster.  Even with regional / local replicas in place, the 250+ latency back to master combined with the ODMs own network challenges make Creo usage in a integrated workspace challenging and time consuming.  It seems PTC will not support a multi-master setup which leaves me wondering about further options.  So, plan B.  

How many of you use Windchill packaging?  Creo packing?  Are there any good presentations about how to set this up, what the pitfalls are, etc?  I think at this point I would like to do a proof of concept with select ODMs to see if packaging would be a better offline / working solution.

thoughts / anything to share?
