This paper deals with the complex issue of interoperability methods and technologies especially in PLM field. Windchill is one of the most popular PLM software proposing robust solutions to support communication with external information systems. The purpose of this paper is to prospect the interoperability mechanisms offered by PTC editor as a solution to interoperability issue. A new interoperability framework is proposed as a Webservice based solution using the capacities embedded in the Windchill Info*Engine mechanisms and J2EE application technology.
