Interesting news for UGS:
Winning Racing Teams Use UGS Technology
A very upbeat, positive article about UGS’s software from Procter and Gamble. Again, There is still “UGS may be the most promising software company you’ve never heard of.” problem. With an IPO lingering according to this article, maybe UGS and PLM will be in the mainstream market soon.
There is not a problem with UGS not a household name, the problem or what would be nice to see other markets adopt UGS’s software so we all have more work options in areas that we never thought of as a career direction. Who would have thought Procter and Gamble would use Teamcenter a few years ago?
There are many more non conventional markets out there that can benefit from this software. We all need more jobs that are not tied to Automotive and Aerospace cyclical job openings. Consumer products, aparel, retail stores, government, etc… are all great areas UGS to grow.
In May of 2004 a group of private equity firms including Silver Lake Partners, bought UGS corporation. A recent Business Week Article had this to say about UGS
“Silver Lake teamed up with private equity giants Bain Capital and Warburg Pincus to pay $2.05 billion for a little-known software company called UGS“
This was a shock to me, that they thought of UGS as a little-known software comapny. I guess i’m so much involved in the industry that UGS dominates it is hard to see them as little. In the big picture UGS is a little unkown software company, but to the industry they are in, UGS is big. It goes to show how little everyone knows about UGS and their products. Lets change that.
Thought this would be interesting reading about what the future plans may be for UGS in regards to track record of the previous investments by the equity firms that purchased them in 2004.
