There is no single point of failure that would prevent PTC from providing services for our customers. PTC Technical Support is a globally distributed organization, with resources in multiple locations in North America, Europe and Asia. PTC partners also provide support for our customers. The majority of the Technical Support organization is currently working from home and we have redundant coverage models to address outages in any of our support centers. These plans are supported by PTC’s ISO 9001 certification.
Digital resources on eSupport continue to be available 24/7 for all customers with support or subscription licenses.
We are also offering the highest level of “white glove” support at no additional charge to medical device and health-tech customers who are on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19. Please contact PTC eSupport to ensure we are aware of how to best support your programs.
PTC maintains a robust business continuity management program that we review periodically to ensure that we continue to provide uninterrupted services to our customers and partners. Our regional offices and individual lines of business across PTC each have plans designed specifically to address the nature of various possible impacts to our business operations.
Our business continuity plan addresses workforce availability and workplace locations, technologies and business systems, and critical interdependencies. PTC’s employee population size and geographic diversification helps provide us with a resiliency advantage for ongoing business continuity.
Finally, offices experiencing mandatory closures have maintained essential business processes and customer support resulting in no disruptions to customer services to date.
PTC remains committed to meeting its service level agreements for its cloud services. We designed our SaaS applications for maximum availability. We do not expect any disruption to cloud service availability due to the COVID-19 virus at this time. We also have a robust capacity management process to provide cloud service scalability.
PTC’s employee population depth and geographic diversity provide resilience to the continuity of our global business. We are committed to continuing to deliver updates, new releases, as well as meeting our agreements throughout this difficult situation, so that your business can continue to operate as normal.
PTC will alert you to any important service notifications via your standard account contacts and communication channels. If you have any questions or concerns regarding COVID-19, we request you contact your existing Account Management team that you use for routine business communications.
