Consequences I
 INTRALINK 3.x related products can´t be “simply” migrated to Windchill
8.0
– incompatible software architecture
– more comprehensive environment (PLM)
 Future Windchill add-on products must be adequate to shifted
conditions
– application`s range must fit to a PLM szenario
– Windchill profen software architecture
 Challenge for software vendors and consultants
–
–
–
–
familiar with PLM requirements and project risks
long term skills in WEB technology (JAVA, Servlets, RMI, LDAP, http …)
profen knowledge of Windchill standard and customizing components
certified Windchill technique (PTC University)
Consequences II
 State-of-the-art iBridge and iCheck will support INTRALINK 3.x
environments only.
 Most of iBridge and iCheck functionality is provided by Windchill itself




Create viewable format

Output - Integration to ERP Systems
Input – Integration to other CAD Systems

 iVault´s architecture must be split into seperate, independent services
to be able to provide add-on functionality …




… Print service for PDMLink, ModelManager, SAP PLM …
… List functions ZIP, ZIP & email for ….
… Watermark service for ….
… Format conversion service for …
