Professional Services

PDM Integration

Let Professional Services enhance your organization's productivity by integrating your Autodesk software with your Product Data Management system.

Asset management has become one of the critical issues affecting the productivity of large design teams and production facilities today. Product Data Management (PDM) systems, maybe once viewed as a luxury, have become an absolute necessity for many organizations.

Management of digital assets through PDM systems streamlines user workflow and drastically reduces the time required to store, find and retrieve files over a network. However, in order to fully realize the productivity advantages of these systems, integration with your 3D software package is a must.

How It Works

There are three phases involved in attaining a seamless two-way interchange of data between your Autodesk software and your PDM system:

  • Discovery—Autodesk assesses the problem, investigates the solutions, and recommends a course of action.
  • Implementation—engineering, testing and delivery of a high-performance solution.
  • Deployment/Administration/Support—we offer training and technical support services for your new implementation.

Benefits

Having Professional Services integrate your Autodesk software with your PDM system has a number of benefits including:

  • Increased Productivity—Artists/designers get direct access to the most current data in the PDM system directly from within their software's user interface. This reduces the amount of time spent "hunting" for files and increases the time spent creating.
  • Guaranteed Expertise—Working with our team of skilled consultants and developers means the job will be done to the highest degree of efficiency and with minimal disruption to your current workflow.
  • Improved Collaboration—Your integrated Autodesk/PDM system gives you optimal tools for managing parallel, networked workflows. Having easy access to file information and locking capabilities allows artists/designers to easily regulate file ownership and maintain version control—making collaboration efficient and productive.
