From their needs we know what we need to do! We have a great team and we now have the tools and support from PTC to streamline the delivery of our solutions“. Initially, modules will focus on more advanced forms of visualization such as advanced styling and visibility studies, but further modules are being planned.

Dr. Carsten Hochmuth, director for partner programs, PTC stated: “We are building a strong group of partners to complement PTC’s product development system, and we welcome Visual Advantage to the network. We recognise the value that teamwork and the contributions of a wide variety of companies and talents can bring to our customers.
