When building technology, you’re never done. Our Aladdin community provides us continual feedback and ideas that allow us to make the technology’s value proposition stronger each year.”
We are deeply participating in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Brazil. We used to have a building where we had something like 120 start-ups. We focused on bringing in the best start-ups in the country, which created a lot of demand from other start-ups to participate because it’s an ecosystem where people contribute to one another. And we try to participate and help them by organizing and making connections. We get to know exactly what type of problem someone is trying to solve, and when we know someone who’s solved it, we connect them.”

We have expanded our ecosystem through partnerships and acquisitions. It’s important to be very clear about the strategic narrative and rationale. For example, the PTC Strategic Alliance with a focus on the IoT side of things was the right move because it allowed us to move fast. Eight weeks after the deal, we were able to sell an augmented reality solution.”

“
We needed to use our processes, our people, and our management to wrap our arms around the newly acquired software assets. It was almost like a reverse acquisition process, where we realized there were a lot of fantastic routines to leverage within the company—whether from a demand-generation, incentive, or marketing perspective.”
