The Intelligent PDM Vault from SolidWorks

Product data management systems perform a variety of tasks to help collaborate, control, connect, and communicate information throughout an engineering organization. Getting the most out of your PDM efforts starts with the Intelligent PDM Vault from SolidWorks.

Executive Summary

You store your design and manufacturing data on a network drive for all to use, right? Because you’re savvy about the need for an administrator to control access while offering the rest of the staff ease of use, you’ve taken a centralized approach and put completed projects on the network such as F:\Released. This approach is similar to storing files in a locked file cabinet: they’re pretty safe, they’re not scattered on multiple local hard drives, and they can be regularly backed up by the information technology (IT) department on a tape or optical
disk drive.
