File management system
File management system
(OP)
Hi everyone.
I recently started working in a company with four (maybe five in a couple of weeks) solidworks users.
We are having problems with file sharing, multiple revisions, and multiple copies of the same part in different folders. I am trying to convince them to buy a file management system to fix the problem.
So, here is the question: which system do you recomend (in terms of cost, user friendlyness, reliability, etc...).
I know there is PDM works, but also heard of CONISIO which is a certified gold product by solidworks.
What are your thaughts on the subject?
Thank you

RE: File management system
Maybe my question was not clear (english is my second language), what I want to know about is File management system comparisons. Everyone talks only about PDMworks, but their are other programms to... Or, does it means that PDM works is THE way to go and that other programms just don't cut it?

I doubt you will find an unbiased, definitive comparison of PDM softwares. Like other members here, you will probably have to get trial copies or watch demos to find the best fit for your needs.
