In addition, PDM promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise users who interact with products—including project managers, engineers, salespeople, buyers, and quality assurance representatives.
What is PDM?
Product data management (PDM), also called Product information management (PIM), is a system that manages and publishes product data. This version control is responsible for part of product lifecycle management and configuration management. In particular, it tracks and controls data related to one specific product, including technical specifications, material types, and all relevant costs. Notably, this solution has been integrated into various enterprise resource planning systems, such as Epicor ERP. The core aims are to ensure a common understanding among stakeholders and all software users, minimize confusion or miscommunication, and maintain high standards of products.
PDM Benefits
