Re: Pro/PDM on Windows XP

I heard they are using Teamcenter for all CAD vaulting and data retention, work flow, etc. I have also heard that they use UG in some of their manufacturing plants for NC programming.

David - Good points. I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that conversation... If the sales force stability is anything like it is for me, I dare say CAT already has a different sales rep than they had.

May I ask why you say Unigraphics has a shaky future?

My experience with IntraLink was pretty positive. I think the lesson learned was to send users and the administrator to the training to get it set up well. Is there some basic fundamental difference between Pro/PDM and Windchill/IntraLink?
