This quarter's issue of Profiles Magazine is absolutely packed with great information. In a reprise of his excellent presentation at the PTC/USER World Event, Mike Brattoli of Moen shares his experience and insights on the use of ISDX in our cover story. We also have an interview with Jim Heppelman discussing the impact of, and future possibilities created by PTC's acquisition of Arbortext.

From PTC/USER, Evan Caille talks about innovation and also has some interesting comments on the member portal and internet services in general. James Lynch discusses his experiences at the World Event from a student's perspective. And of course, we have four new tips and tricks to increase your productivity.

Feel free to share your praise or criticisms about the magazine with us. You can write me at rick@ptcuser.org.

Best Regards,

Rick Snider
