SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) is a technical data management solution published by Dassault Systèmes. It offers designers the possibility to collaborate on a project, without having to worry about version control and data loss issues.
They can thus manage their 3D CAD models and associated documentation in a central indexed repository that ensures file version management, allows them to know the status of documents and automates workflows. In addition, Microsoft® SQL support for this "electronic safe" guarantees data security (rights management, simultaneous access control, etc.).
SOLIDWORKS PDM is fully customizable and easy to implement. Directly integrated into SOLIDWORKS or Windows® Explorer, users benefit from a familiar working environment.
Localized vault replication and support for multiple CAD applications deliver unmatched productivity, regardless of the size, distribution, and diversity of your business.
