Simonsoft Nordic - Product Information Solutions

On the 21st of March PTC will be hosting one of their Tech Forums in Gothenburg Sweden at the Clarion Hotel Post. This is a great opportunity to recieve some information about the future and also to get some know how and network.

According to PTC attendees will:

• Gain insight into PTC's corporate strategy and technology vision
• Get the latest information on the breakthrough technologies of Creo
• Learn how to "Do More, Know More and Get More" with Windchill 10
• Learn best practices from peer companies leveraging PTC solutions
• Discover solutions for day-to-day challenges

And some of the following is on the agenda:

• PTC's corporate strategy & technology roadmap
• Product roadmaps & best practice sessions delivered by PTC experts
• Real world examples delivered by industry leading companies
• PTC University training
• Networking opportunities with both peers and product experts

There are a lot of Creo related stuff on the agenda but not much about IsoDraw or Arbortext. Not even Creo Illustrate is mentioned. But, there will of course be a chance to speak to PTC officials and network with all the great people in the PTC business. 

The venue, Clarion Hotel Post, is a brand new Hotel located in the heart of Gothenburg next door to the central railway station. The grand opening will take place on the 26th of January so you can be sure that the conference rooms are tidy and fresh.

In other news Arbortext 6.0 M040 has a release date now. Or sort of at least. Arbortext 6.0 M040 will be out in March of 2012. Possibly it will be out around the date of PTC Tech Forum.

So, we've finally reached December 1st! Happy Christmas season everyone! 

Actually we have another happening to look forward to. PTC realeases Arbortext maintenance release M030 of the 6.0 suite on December 22nd. We have some bugs that we have found in M020 and M010 that will be sorted in M030. That of course makes it a wee bit more exciting.

One of the issues we've filed and that is resolved in Arbortext M030 is the bug with numlist and procstep counters not working in APP. A very nice feature to have working, so we are pleased to have had a rather fast process from reporting to a solution.

IsoDraw users don't have that long to wait either. In february of 2012 the 7.2 M020 maintenance relase will be out. And we have a bug reported in IsoDraw 7.2 M010 that is listed as resolved in IsoDraw 7.2 M020. In a support service perspective I feel we are doing good the bug reporting department.

So, that is some things to look forward too. You can read more about what bugs and issues are resolved in Arbortext M030 and IsoDraw M020 at PTC.com with their Update Advisor. You need to be logged in of course.

The Swedish PLM, CAD specialized magazine "Verkstadsforum" reports from PTC Tech Forum that took place in Copenhagen yesterday. There was a huge attendance apparently and perhaps that is due in part by the fact that the Nordic market for PTC have been growing the past yer.

PTC's strategy of creating suites of products that work seamlesly together was presented. So, suites like Windchill and Creo will work great on there own but also togehter with the Arbortext suite and so on. This creates a great oppurtunity to tie together all parts of a products life cycle.

Well, anyways it is an interesting read, so if you are Swedish, read all about it at Verkstadsforum.
