Anark thanks everyone for a great PTCUSER Global Summit 2025

We had a fantastic week with customers and partners enjoying the food, music, and comradery.  Between the interactions at the booth, our RTX customer event with ITI Wipro, and the panel session Anark hosted entitled “A Product Innovation Platform approach to effective Digital Engineering Collaboration”, New Orleans was a special week.

We would like to highlight the 3 participants in the session who took the time to talk about their experiences with Digital Transformation: 

  • Xaymara Perez from Raytheon
  • Will Cockrell from Edwards Medical
  • Dan Feighery from Action Engineering

Anark especially enjoyed the encounters with customers about our latest enhancements to the performance and quality of our 3D PDF MBD solutions. These solutions integrate seamlessly with Creo and/or Windchill, enabling automated publishing within desktop and PLM workflows. This same core publishing capability also supports the creation of web-accessible MBD Technical Data Packages, driving effective collaboration strategies.


Here is an event summary from Anark VP of Marketing Patrick Dunfey 
We hope to see you at the MBE and QIF Summit in April 2025

Is OCM ineffective for your PLM Transformation?

You picked PTC’s PLM solutions to transform your organization to compete fiercely in the modern landscape. But why save money when you can burn it? That’s the implied attitude of most organizations because they don’t truly personalize their PLM transformation strategy and, in doing so, blow way past their budget.


Yes, it’s the right software, configured the right way, and successfully live. You communicated the change was coming and that it was for the better. You trained your users. But then, your ROI realization is delayed! What happened?


To maximize your PLM’s value and accelerate time to realizing it, you need to properly personalize your transformation strategy. Performing proper organizational readiness, cultural ecosystem, risk and alignment, and stakeholder assessments yield the unique contextual details that solve for your organization’s current transformational PLM needs.


Complete OCM is not a s’mores recipe – you want to prevent fires, not fan flames. Read more about this common but avoidable pitfall and learn what to do about it.

Product Sustainability For Dummies Book

Sustainability in manufacturing is complex, and there’s no single playbook to follow. After working with hundreds of customers and partners over the past two years, one thing was clear: manufacturers can act today in ways that are both practical and profitable. 

 

So, we set out to create a comprehensive guide for manufacturers, and now it’s here! Inside, we break down key focus areas, including: 

  • How to profitably incorporate sustainability in product design and execution
  • Strategies for decarbonization, hazardous materials control, and circularity
  • How to stay ahead of evolving regulations and compliance challenges
  • The business value of sustainability beyond just meeting requirements

The biggest takeaway? Sustainability isn’t just about reducing footprints—it’s about driving better product outcomes, reducing risk, and staying competitive in a changing market. 

 

Whether you’re just getting started or refining your strategy, Product Sustainability for Dummies – PTC Special Edition can help you take the next step.  Give it a read, would love to hear your thoughts on it!
