NEEDHAM, Mass. - August 26, 2002 - PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), The Product Development CompanyTM, today announced that it will provide PTC's Windchill solutions and services to Legend Group Limited ("Lengend"), the leading IT corporation in China, to help enhance its product lifecycle management (PLM).

Windchill is a robust, Web-based suite of collaborative software applications for product development. It provides a secure environment for PLM that allows enterprises to integrate business processes and product data with dispersed divisions, partners, and customers.

Legend has been deploying PTC's Pro/ENGINEER product development software since 1998 to design a series of products, including desktop computers, notebooks, servers, palm-sized PCs and peripherals.? Legend will use its own SureServer for the first time to function as the hardware infrastructure for the Windchill application, thus reducing total cost of ownership.?

"Product lifecycle management has become one of our most important IT initiatives based on the growing demand for configuration-to-order in China," said Xiaoyan Wang, senior vice president of Legend.? "In order to quickly create and deliver specially configured products tailored on customers' needs, it is imperative that we collaborate with suppliers and customers regardless of obstacles presented by our geographically dispersed operations. The combination of PTC software solutions and our SureServers provides the tools and infrastructure necessary to optimize the system."

"The combination of PTC's Windchill software and Intel-based Legend SureServers provides Legend with a high performance and cost effective solution for its product lifecycle management initiative," said Tom Burns, director of Intel's Asia Pacific Internet Solutions Group. "We are pleased to have worked with PTC and Legend to optimize Windchill on Intel? Architecture, in order to take advantage of the performance, scalability and flexibility that Intel-based servers provide."

"Legend is leveraging the full breadth of resources provided by two industry-leading companies in the deployment of their PLM solution," said Trenton Brown, executive vice president, International Sales at PTC.? "Windchill on Intel Architecture Servers will help our customers quickly size and deploy appropriate infrastructure to support all phases of implementation from pilot to full-scale multi-site collaborative engineering. Windchill solutions running on Intel Architecture should be looked to as a model PLM implementation for global companies."
