PTC CEO Jim Heppelmann told partners at the event that there are major growth opportunities in technologies such as Internet of Things and augmented reality — which are projected to represent one-third of PTC's sales this year — as well as continuing opportunities in computer-aided design and product lifecycle management.
"My message to them was we're going to make a lot of money together, because this is a great market, and we have some great technology that can create tremendous value," he said on Tuesday.
