BEACHWOOD, OH – Kalypso, the world’s premier innovation consulting firm, announced that it has been selected to participate in PTC’s 2012 preferred Service Advantage™ Territory Partner program. Building on a successful alliance established in 2008, Kalypso has aggressive growth plans to rapidly expand its PTC practice to help more clients drive innovation through the use of PTC® technologies for product lifecycle management (PLM).
Kalypso combines world-class management consulting capabilities with deep PLM technology and process improvement skills to successfully deliver comprehensive solutions. The firm has grown and broadened the expertise of its PTC Practice over the past several months with the addition of key professionals including Rod Walters, Vipin Goyal, Michael Glessner, Kirby Sisk and Howard Schimmoller. Combined, these business and industry thought leaders have more than 125 years of industry experience in product development and PLM across a broad range of industries.
“As the PTC Windchill® suite sees broad market adoption as a leading PLM platform, more PTC clients are turning to firms that offer both strategy and implementation services,” said Rod Walters, partner at Kalypso. “Kalypso is ideally positioned to help them achieve sustained results and realize the value of PLM. Our PTC PLM technology practice has grown 450% since last year and we are committed to support this important segment of our business with large investments in capabilities, accelerators and people.”
