Here are the top 5 benefits of cloud-based PDM:

1. Shift to cloud-based PLM

Traditional client/server PLM systems are still common, but cloud-based solutions, like those in the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio, are becoming preferred for their ease of use, affordability, and simplified system management.

2. Benefits for small to midsize businesses

Cloud-based PLM systems offer significant advantages to SOLIDWORKS users and small to midsize businesses by improving productivity, collaboration, and innovation through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

3. Enhanced collaboration

Cloud PLM enables fast, secure collaboration by centralising data access for all stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, and remote team members, from any location and device.

4. Unified data management

The cloud-based approach simplifies managing the entire product record and the change management process by providing a single, unified platform for real-time data and project oversight.

5. Inclusion of external stakeholders

Effective product development requires collaboration with external stakeholders, addressing challenges such as project tracking, deadline management, and handling delays.
