Editor's Notes
“SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, or CAD file vaulting, is the focus of this brief presentation and it begins with being able to easily provide revision & version control for SolidWorks Parts, Assemblies & Drawings. You will also note, EPDM provides support for vaulting other Non CAD document types such as Adobe, MS Office, Etc… Plus it doesn’t stop with managing SolidWorks CAD files either. EPDM provides integration support for Pro/E, AutoCAD, Inventor & Solid Edge too.”
“On this slide you can see a few areas as to why EPDM has become so popular. From a fast learning curve via an intuitive GUI, Security at the file & folder level up to individuals & groups, easily understood searching, Vault replication to other locations, workflow to streamline processes, open software for data sharing and finally scalability via MS SQL Server 2008 DB platform.”

“An area the receives many accolades from our users is in the User Interface (UI). The left side of the screen shown here is Windows Explorer and in this case Vista. As you browse into the Enterprise Vault highlighted by the Blue ICON you will automatically see the integration take on he look as shown. This is one view of the interface with the other residing in the SolidWorks application as you will see in our demo. Any Windows user familiar with the concept of right mouse click and file save as is essentially half trained on using EPDM.”
“So what this means to your company is a very fast implementation as the same simple UI is present in the Admin task as well. Training is considerably reduced because of the comfort in using a Windows based interface. An area that many data management systems require significant time is in Administration where task such as Security & Configuring the system are performed. With EPDM this is accomplished with ease using a wizard approach for the most part.”
“Any Data Management system worth their weight will provide searching. What sets one apart from the other is the robustness of their searching. EPDM lets you search on everything from file status, in context data, history, types, Etc… Once a file is located you are able to immediately drill into the specifics of the file.”
“Why is searching needed in a PDM system? Because browsing is expensive. By entering a few key search parameters you will be able to get results immediately versus the numerous mouse clicks typical without PDM. Industry experts report a person spends 20% of their day searching by browsing. When they can not find the file or a part to reuse, they will source another part or recreate a file. What would it mean to your bottom line if you could get back just ½ half of that 20% across your organization? Or be able to locate a part for reuse? Important note here: Search parameters can be saved for repeated use by individuals as well.”
