Hi
I finally managed to convince a company here that we really need a PDM system, so I have received green light in choosing and implementing one.
It is clear that we will work with Pro/E so I assume that PTC solutions will fit us best.
Now, when I look for information of the available solutions, all I find are PDFs with a bunch of ridiculous bombastic blathering buzzwords that require a great deal of deciphering in order to discern what the crap they actually do.
So now I wonder if someone here can point me to some resource where I can get information about the capabilities WITHOUT the stupid marketspeak? A cost estimate would be nice too.
I could of course talk to our local vendors, but I predict they will insist on meetings where there will be shakings of hands and wide grins and lies and attempts at cameraderie and toasting and lies and swearing of blood brethren and promises of future mutually beneficial business and more lies. I would prefer to get the information from more neutral sources.
I take it these are layers in a gradually more complex chain? :
Pro/Intralink - just CAD
Windchill PDMLink - CAD and other documents, web-based
Windchill ProjectLink - God knows what the heck this does.
Help? Thanks!
