PDMWorks® Advanced Server
In today's engineering environment we are at a point where vitually all information pertaining to a project or design is being developed, maintained and accessed electronically.
PDMWorks provides a workgroup methodology to managing engineering documentation as well as supporting the collaborative needs for the engineering team. By focusing on a data management solution that addresses the specific needs of the engineering team, designers can actually work faster and develop a more complete design that contains not only the graphical portion of the design, but also includes non-graphical design information.
As a design reaches certain milestones, it typically becomes necessary to share the workgroup information at a broader corporate level; the PDMWorks Advanced Server supports this need of communicating workgroup design information at a corporate level.
PDMWorks Advanced Server provides the ability to extend access to design information beyond engineering to groups such as: purchasing, sales, support, manufacturing, vendors, customers, etc.

- API (Application Programming Interface)--Enables you to tailor PDMWorks to meet the specific needs of your organization. For example: Extract information from the vault to generate a custom report.
