The Problem with Sharing Files on a Network Drive
Using a Network drive with a shared file location is a manual check-in/check-out system which is prone to errors in its daily operation:
- The wrong version is opened
- Someone works on a copy without tracking revisions
- A coworker renames a file while you are working on it
These are all errors that can cost you time and accuracy. To minimize these errors, you need a structured product data management (PDM) system. And to truly improve the efficiency of your managed design process, you need the benefits of an Intelligent PDM Vault included with Enterprise PDM.
“Enterprise PDM has proven to be a powerful tool for Inertia Engineering & Design Inc. Our automotive vehicle development projects typically have a lot of information and a lot of parts and drawings. This information needs to be assembled in one place, accessed and shared by many people”.
