In today’s smart, connected world – businesses must effectively leverage technology to keep pace.
While there’s no doubt that powerful solutions and platforms, like those offered at PTC, are crucial to business success, executives aren’t experiencing value quickly enough. There’s immense pressure for decision makers to quickly show ROI and bring incremental value back to the company. But, according to a Bain & Company study, 51% aren’t sure whether new technology is paying off yet.

To maximize the value of your powerful PTC solutions and platforms, successful deployment and adoption is essential.
Added benefits of VRDs include:
Faster Deployment time: Experience >35% REDUCTION in DEPLOYMENT TIME
Minimized Costs: 20% reduced deployment costs
Reduced total cost of ownership: 40% decrease in TCO over 5 years
A VRD is more than just methodology. A VRD is built on three, consistent components- service best practices, effective adoption and management of change and flexible hosting options.
Best Practices: Historically, customers have struggled with requirements-based, highly customized deployments. Our VRD approach is designed to provide a rapid, quick win. We instantiate the best practices to meet your business needs.
Flexible Deployment: The pre-configurations in each VRD allow the solution to be deployed in a prescribed manner, quickly and efficiently. VRD software deployments focus on a cloud first approach for secure hosting, ongoing expert management, tuning, and updates. By deploying on the cloud, customers experience optimal performance with minimal cost, risk, and in-house IT burden.
Training: Professionals -both on-site and off-site- that have expertise and experience on the product, best practices and IT Programs
to lead you before, during, and after the implementation to keep the projects on target, on time and on budget
To define and deliver the training, mentoring and the specific change management communication
We offer comprehensive programs as well as an extensive set of role-based training courses which ensure organization, team, and end user adoption. This component is vital, helping customers maximize the usage of the PTC solution to achieve rapid ROI.
The VRD approach accelerates time to value using PTC Customer Success experience, industry and product best practices and role based adoption.
Align – Customer Success creates pre-defined processes based on industry best practices
Configure : Customer Success creates pre-configured templates designed to maximize results for your business
Test & Deploy: Cloud Services create a test environment for configurations and updates allowing for seamless deployment that doesn’t interrupt operations.
