With fast-moving projects and complex designs, data management is extremely important in any environment.
By leveraging a secure vault, you can extend the access to your 3D design environment and associated files, for all participants from engineering through manufacturing. This enables everyone involved in your projects to share information and collaborate on designs, while automatically protecting your intellectual property with the automated version and revision control systems.
During this 16 minutes session, Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert; Scott Ellery, will take us through the different data management options and help you decide which data management solution is best for your business.
