PDS Infrastructure Scalability Assessment
Windchill is a very complex product combining disparate technologies. General principals can be used for tuning, but then one needs to dive into some implementation details. The PISA methodology is a deep dive into a customer's environment to address overall performance tuning or pinpoint performance troubleshooting.
