Find the best PLM Solution for your business using advanced PLM Software

Finding the right way to manage product data inevitably leads to a choice between two possibilities: Product Data Management (PDM) or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

Watch the video to find out the right questions to ask when deciding which software solution is the right one.

PDM software helps keep engineers organized and efficient, collaborate better, and avoid costly errors.

PLM software takes PDM a step further with additional features allowing users to control, access, and share product data.

What is the difference between PDM and PLM?

Engineering projects manage a lot of data and leaving that up to a manual process can lead to costly errors.

PDM software is the next logical step from completely manual processes because it can help keep engineers organized and efficient, especially in the short term.

However, engineering designs and processes are complex, and as projects get bigger and new projects arise, PDM solutions become insufficient.
