William, check today's news. Motorola, a PTC user is buying PDM from SD. ...can't compete? Give me a break. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1998--Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (Nasdaq:SDRC), the worldwide PDM market leader, today announced that Motorola, based in Schaumburg, Ill., has signed a $2 million contract for add-on Metaphase(R) Enterprise(TM) product data management (PDM) software in the second quarter. Motorola is a leading electronics/high technology company that designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive array of products including pagers, semiconductors and satellites. It has the largest portfolio of cellular telephones in the world. Currently, Motorola uses Metaphase in four of its seven business sectors to manage Pro/ENGINEER data and engineering change processes. With its PDM implementation, its cycle time on engineering change orders alone has significantly decreased. With the software, which Motorola will deploy over two years, it is more than tripling its licensed Metaphase user base through expansions of existing sites in the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific. In addition, Motorola is focusing its Metaphase rollout on the entire engineering process by managing engineering bills of material, CAD data from Pro/ENGINEER, electrical CAD data, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) interfaces. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jerry
