“Metafore is truly a unique partner for us, and this award is well-deserved,” says Jim Gregory, Vice President, US Indirect Channels at UGS. “Their extensive practical understanding of PLM and their tremendous expertise in implementing and supporting our software solutions clearly position them at the forefront not only of our partner network but probably of most companies in the PLM industry. Any company looking to evaluate and implement PLM could greatly benefit from their unbiased knowledge and proven implementation experience.”

“We are excited about receiving this award,” says Andreas Lindenthal, Principal of Metafore. “It is a confirmation that we are an outstanding partner not only for the software vendors we work with, but also for our clients. UGS recognizes the value we bring as an independent firm to companies interested in evaluating and implementing PLM and to users of their software solutions.”

“It is great to be recognized by one of the leading PLM software companies in the world as number one among the more than 100 business partners,” says Chris Atkins, Principal of Metafore. “Last year we helped over a dozen companies to better understand PLM, to optimize their PLM-related business practices and processes, to identify and design the optimal solution for their business needs and to successfully implement both small workgroup PDM solutions for 10 users as well as large enterprise PLM solutions for over 500 users. This award confirms that Metafore is a credible, capable and trustworthy PLM solution provider.”
