The goal is to focus a company's manufacturing design efforts on a specific challenge in a manner that invites the collaboration of all parties simultaneously, so that the participants can update and alter the program in real-time, significantly enhancing the product speed-to-market cycle. This not only helps the manufacturer keep or gain market share, it results in significant efficiencies across its entire unit-cost chain. Human resources, material, training and production costs are all reduced, resulting in increased cash flow, ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). as well as ROA ROA See: Return on assets ROA See: Right of accumulation ROA See return on assets (ROA). . "Compaq is looking to redefine the Internet experience. We address this with Integrated Services and content with leading general purpose PCs, industry-standard servers, high-performance computing systems, innovative Internet access devices and integrated wireless and broadband," said Mr. Scheid.

As PTC's clients show new needs, Compaq's on-site presence allows it to not only advise PTC, but gives them the advantage of knowing how to immediately upgrade their IT infrastructure, as well as design systems with this level of migration in mind.
