GladlyGladly Standardizes Product Lifecycle on PTC
Gladly, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Creo from PTC to support change control for engineering and quality.
Teams at Gladly moved product lifecycle data onto PTC after local tools started to collide.
“Information Technology work at Gladly spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States.”
“Engineering and quality asked for a shared way to run change control without freezing local judgment.”

Story
Information Technology work at Gladly spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Product lifecycle data was splitting across regional habits. Engineering and quality asked for a shared way to run change control without freezing local judgment.
PTC (Creo) is what they standardized on. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. Gladly uses it as the system of record for product lifecycle data, with engineering and quality as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
