Medical Device Technology co Partners with Fishbowl Solutions to Migrate to One Windchill® PDMLink® Database

Minneapolis, MN — A global leader in medical device technology partnered with Fishbowl Solutions, a technology consulting and software development firm supplying solutions to the manufacturing industry, to migrate from Pro/INTRALINK to PTC’s leading PLM solution, Windchill PDMLink.

The customer had proven success with PTC’s Pro/INTRALINK 3.4 solution, but was looking to simplify and consolidate engineering system architecture. PTC’s Windchill PDMLink is the industry leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution and it was chosen by the medical device company to help them standardize their processes and consolidate IT infrastructure from five databases to one.

Fishbowl Solutions was chosen to perform this migration because of its expertise in the PTC product set, its out-of-the-box tools, ability to write custom Pro/TOOLKIT, Pro/INTRALINK, and Windchill applications and its proven expertise with upgrading, migrating, and integrating cross-platform systems. Fishbowl’s project team executed a multi-phased migration process that included cleansing CAD data using Fishbowl’s Data Clean Up Tools applications. Fishbowl also leveraged their linkTuner and HPGL Compare components to validate data pre and post migration, as well as performing performance tuning to ensure peak performance on production go-live.
