PTC, developer of technology solutions, comprised of software and services, completed the acquisition of pure-systems, a provider of software solutions for product line and variant management. Financial terms were not disclosed. “The acquisition of pure-systems adds important functionality to our ALM suite that is critical to manufacturers around the world. Manufacturers are increasingly turning to software to differentiate their products and to create different versions of their products to address the full range of customer needs. In particular, automakers that are investing heavily in software-defined vehicles require tightly integrated ALM and software variant management solutions to plan and deliver the different software configurations that power their range of vehicle offerings. We believe that the combination of Codebeamer and pure::variants positions PTC as one of the leading providers of software requirements, configuration, testing, and validation solutions in the market,” Jim Heppelmann, PTC Chairman and CEO.
