Take a deeper look at how SOLIDWORKS Manage extends the capabilities of PDM and whether it truly represents the next evolution beyond PDM Professional. This session reflects on the typical customer journey from adopting SOLIDWORKS, implementing PDM to control growing design data, and reaching the point where wider business challenges demand more than file management alone. The video explores how Manage adds layers of functionality including process control, bill of materials management, project planning, dashboards, capacity tracking and collaboration tools, all while building on an existing PDM foundation without the need for migration. By comparing today’s complex engineering requirements with what PDM alone can deliver, the presentation shows how Manage can be seen as a natural progression—far more than PDM Premium by name, offering broader connected solutions across the business.
