What PTC Windchill is
PTC Windchill is web-based software for managing product information and related processes. It includes revision control, requirements management, change management, and bill of materials management. Workflow automation helps organize process steps, while API access provides a way to connect the product with other systems. These capabilities place revisions, requirements, changes, BOMs, and workflows in one browser-accessed application. Windchill is a paid product, and PTC lists pricing as available on request rather than publishing plan prices. The product was founded in 1998. PTC lists its headquarters at 121 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, USA. The stated platform is the web, with no desktop or mobile platform listed in the supplied details. Organizations evaluating Windchill can therefore focus on whether its product controls, process automation, and API access match their information-management needs, then request commercial details from PTC.
