PTC Certified Houston Training Center Awarded to TriStar

Online, December 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - PTC announces TriStar as the Partner of Choice to run the Certified Training Center in Houston, TX. All traffic coming through this center is now awarded to TriStar, restating them as the number one PTC Platinum Partner in North America. This showcases PTC's trust in TriStar presenting the most reliable solutions on all PTC and TriStar products and services.

"The addition of the Houston Training Center will allow TriStar to provide even more PTC Authorized Training in the south Texas region. TriStar is very excited about the opportunity," says TriStar President Patrick Maderia.

There is only one certified training center per major market. The prior host was Impac Systems, but now the Houston center caps the long list of areas which TriStar acts as the Partner of Choice. TriStar's other locations include, but are not limited to, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, Detroit, Pittsburg, Salt Lake City and San Diego.

This move now increases TriStar's distribution of their certified training classes, posing a greater outreach to businesses in that area. TriStar continues its leadership throughout the VAR channel, reflecting its efforts to work closely with PTC to provide reliable, comprehensive PLM and engineering solutions and training to our customers across the nation.
