What do we think?
As with Dassault Systemes in the most recent quarter, “other” was the best performing segment by growth percentage. In PTC’s case for now “other” is Service Lifecycle Management. PTC is working hard to distinguish itself from the other PLM vendors with its forays into service for manufacturers, application lifecycle management (software inside manufactured products), and the Internet of Things. But it is also nice to have consistent revenue with today’s lineup of CAD and PLM while the new segments mature.
