PDMWorks

PDMWorks® Enterprise is a product data management (PDM) software solution that can be deployed in a fraction of the time required by other enterprise PDM systems. It helps your organization manage and share product data more effectively to create better products in less time.

Effective teamwork is vital to delivering the right product at the right time and price to
meet the needs of your customers. PDMWorks Enterprise is a PDM solution that enables
members of your organization to work together more easily and bring quality products
to market more rapidly.

Improve information sharing and implement rapidly across multiple sites

With PDMWorks Enterprise software, your organization can better manage and share all
types of product information and data, from engineering documents to product marketing
specifications. By improving data management and automating workflow across multiple
sites, PDMWorks Enterprise helps integrate the product development activities of widely
dispersed corporate divisions, departments, customers, and suppliers.

The capabilities of PDMWorks Enterprise are well proven in a variety of industries,
including mechanical machinery, electronics, medical, and power and process.
PDMWorks Enterprise simplifies product changes and information sharing, as well as
providing access via the web and the ability to integrate with other enterprise systems.
The software’s interface is highly intuitive, offering unmatched integration with
Windows® Explorer. PDMWorks Enterprise is also cost-effective and can be implemented
in a fraction of the time required by other solutions in its class.

Increase efficiency with best-in-class data management capabilities

Improve the product development process through easy access to the most up-to-date
versions of all documents and data. Effective data management allows engineering,
manufacturing, purchasing, and marketing staff to avoid errors such as working with
the wrong versions of documents or accidentally overwriting the right versions. In addition,
PDMWorks Enterprise enables easier reuse of data, conserving time and effort.
For example, it lets product designers locate CAD files quickly with “where used” and
attribute searches.

Streamline processes with workflow automation

The workflow capabilities of PDMWorks Enterprise software allow your organization
to automate approval processes to reduce errors and improve efficiency. For
example, you can eliminate many bottlenecks by automating the process of releasing
product designs for manufacture and making subsequent design changes such as
generating engineering change orders (ECOs). Unlike other enterprise PDM systems,
PDMWorks Enterprise allows you to change workflow easily, allowing your organization
to adapt quickly to changes.

Audit activities to improve standards compliance and quality

PDMWorks Enterprise tracks and records every event, each workflow, and at every
version. Audit tools record who did what and when, and how and why each change was
made, simplifying preparation of internal quality reports as well as those required by
regulatory agencies and ISO auditors. Auditing activities more effectively can help to
identify potential problems early and improve processes continuously, increasing your
organization’s ability to compete.

Share information with your customers and suppliers

With PDMWorks Enterprise you can extend the benefits of data management and workflow
capabilities to activities involving customers and suppliers. PDMWorks Enterprise
lets you provide exactly the right level of information access to each member of your
extended team, improving efficiency without compromising confidentiality or security.
Extending product information to customers and suppliers with PDMWorks Enterprise
shortens the product development process.
