Definition of Monopoly (m-w.com): "complete control of the entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market"

 

PTC comes from the CAD industry where they got customers for life, but not by continuing to please them.  The market situation that has been created/fortified does not seem conducive to innovation or pleasing the customer.  Incompatibility with other CAD software is designed into the system and PTC reps recently said (admitted) that the CAD industry has been "stagnant" for years now because most customers are with who they choose initially...so companies are trying to drum up new business/money elsewhere (and are leaving CAD to minor changes).  If the PLM software stays mostly compatible (I know probably not 100% possible) with each other so companies could switch if they are not doing their job, then the software should never become "stagnant".

 

That aside, this discussion has posted some interesting solutions within and without PDMLink.  I hope there is more to come.
