Product Data Management

Product Data Management (PDM) focuses on organizing, centralizing, and managing product data, such as CAD files, engineering data, and design data. PDM software is available on-premise or in the cloud as a SaaS offering.

SOLIDWORKS PDM is our flagship on-premise solution that helps engineering teams collaborate, control changes, and manage revisions and Bill of Materials (BOMs).
Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS – our SaaS PDM – allows you to securely store and manage data on the cloud right from SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS Cloud PLM Standard builds on Cloud Services to bring cross-functional BOM management and CAD-connected project planning to our users.

In addition to realizing a 50 to 60 percent efficiency improvement in BOM generation, these data mining capabilities make it much easier and faster to order parts, saving additional time and money.

Effective and structured collaboration saves time and fosters innovation. Organizations that manage to break down departmental silos and get rid of disjointed communications tools continuously outperform their competitors.

Companies benefit by:

Using the Share and Markup capabilities of Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS to share 3D designs with ANYONE – directly from SOLIDWORKS.
Getting real-time feedback and iterating on your work is as easy as sharing a link.
Giving everyone in your organization a voice in the product development with SOLIDWORKS Collaboration Packages.
Breaking down silos between departments and eliminating the patchwork of communication tools.

Collaboration has become very simple and convenient. Data can be checked at any time, from anywhere, in the cloud. With these improvements, our product development period has been shortened by about 20 percent.

Product Lifecycle Management

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a strategic process that centers on the entire lifecycle of a product from concept to manufacturing.

Our scalable, cloud-based SOLIDWORKS PLM reduces your IT overhead and transforms your product lifecycle management into a more efficient, agile process. Only add capabilities that you need and when you need them.
SOLIDWORKS® Manage is our on-premise PLM solution. It leverages the file management capabilities of SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and adds powerful project, process, and item management capabilities with interactive dashboards and reports.

Revision control minimizes errors, and our IT overhead, infrastructure, software maintenance, and future hardware investment costs are all reduced.
