Data Management and Collaboration

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.

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.
