PTC MKS Toolkit Customer Testimonials

PTC MKS Toolkit 10.2

"I am using bash script to driven our testing of our application InDesign, Photohop, Illustrator. To handle crash recovery and start back up again from the point where it crash and continue with the testing. We do this on a daily basis on Mac side. Since I am a Mac Guy only I need a way to do the same thing on Windows systems. I tried to use Cygwin 1 year ago but had no luckā€¦.. I was also able to make ssh server work with Mkstoolkit and not Cygwin, that was a big bonus."
Adobe Systems Inc.


"after floundering about attempting to cobble together various bits and pieces of freeware to help me complete some of the urgent engineering tasks that have been set out before me, somewhere in the back of my head I recalled the name MKS toolkit"
Harry A. Kaplan, Artabolic Software Consulting


"There is a remarkable performance improvement using Mentor Graphics tools with MKS X/Server (previously XVision) as compared to X-Win32. Not sure what you're doing, but it's working."
Raytheon Missles Systems


"I keep using MKS Toolkit, in preference to Cygwin or Microsoft's Subsystem for UNIX based Applications (SUA), is that MKS allows use of Windows native file names in all contexts. This tremendously facilitates true "mixed-mode" development environments."
NearSpace


"MKS has been a lifesaver for us. My team has a 'ton' of experience on UNIX platforms and very-little-to-none on Windows. MKS has allowed us to do our work on a Windows box very quickly."
Gail Wilson, First American National Bank.


"Delivering UNIX based robotics solutions has contributed to much of our success and saving time and reducing TCO is an essential requirement for our clients. Having our applications on a PC enables our clients to perform more simulations in a virtual manner, without having to go onsite. Faced with this increasing demand for PC-based products among our clients, it became apparent that a migration to the Windows platform was necessary. MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers allowed us to do that quickly and easily."
Marcel Keinan, Director of CAD & Robcad Applications - R&D Group, Tecnomatix Technologies, Ltd.

"Through the UNIX-to-Windows NT migration initiative, we'll not only be able to support GDSS at a much lower cost, but we will also improve overall performance, manageability and reliability, providing the tools to allow our traders to operate at maximum efficiency. The rollout of the migration pilot has been extremely successful, and as a result of the effective partnering between Lehman, Dell, MKS and Microsoft, the speed of implementation was unbelievable! Word of our program is spreading to other areas and we can barely keep up with the demand from within the organization."
Tony Mercado, Vice President of Information Technology for Government Trading, Lehman Brothers.

"We would never have even attempted this project without MKS. It would have cost too much and might have taken years. With MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers we just ported it over to Windows, got it to compile, and brought up Windows. It was very simple—and very fast."
Rob Pynaker, CogniSeis.
