What Does it Mean to be Part of the Growing UGS Innovation Family?

It means you are one of nearly four million people around the world who use UGS® software and services to transform your process of innovation.  But it also means:

• Your products are your company’s key to innovation; they actively determine your marketplace strategy and drive your plans for top-line growth.

• You value your enterprise’s product and process knowledge and are positioned to leverage its business potential from concept design through product development, market launch and program retirement.

• You are using product lifecycle management (PLM) technology as the foundation for product and process innovation.

• Your company can build a Global Innovation Network with collaboration capabilities to outperform your competitors and enable your entire supply chain to turn groundbreaking ideas into marketing winning products and services.

• You share the same PLM foundation and technology interests as many of today’s most prominent product makers, including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Boeing, Procter & Gamble, Jones Apparel Group, Lurssen, Nokia, Samsung and John Deere—to name just a few of companies that have adopted PLM to drive their global innovation strategy.

Furthermore, being a member of the UGS Innovation Family is more than gaining innovation advantages from using UGS software and services.  It gives you opportunities to connect with UGS and gain insights into the experiences and successes of other members of the UGS user community.  Innovation Family members can:
