Case Study: Colony Brands, Inc. achieves stable, high-performance PLM in the PTC Cloud with PTC Windchill FlexPLM

Colony Brands Successfully Deploys PLM in the Cloud

Colony Brands, Inc., a catalog retail leader founded in 1926 and employing over 7,000 people, needed to move its product lifecycle management into the cloud but lacked in‑house technical skills to manage Apache and PTC Windchill FlexPLM. The company also required predictable costs and ongoing optimal performance and stability for the Windchill FlexPLM environment.

PTC provided PTC Cloud Services to rapidly deploy, configure, tune, and support Windchill FlexPLM, taking responsibility for system management and proactive monitoring. As a result, Colony Brands, Inc. achieved stability and performance beyond expectations (including fast response times for its Shanghai team), monthly releases with practically no post‑install issues, and quick turnaround for requests for new users and catalogs.
