(OP)
My company is looking for potential replacements for PDMWorks Enterprise and Intralink 3.4. We do contract design work and the tool we use (Pro/E, Solidworks, SolidEdge, etc) is largely dictated by the customer. We are currently running different PDM softwares for each tool but would like to streamline the process by upgrading to a single PDM tool. Any suggestions or experiences would be very helpful.
Needs to have:
Support Pro/E and SolidWorks (understands file relations, etc)
Multi-site replication
Site/user/project security model to appropriately allow or disallow access for things like ITAR
Nice to have:
Supports SolidEdge, Unigraphics, Catia, EE tools, etc
Customer accessible
Offline briefcasing for disconnected laptops
So far the candidates are PDMLink and ProductCenter.
Thanks,
Doug

RE: PDM Solutions
I know this was posted a while back, but why aren't you looking at the multi-CAD features of SolidWorks' PDME? From my understanding it is supposed to handle multiCAD pretty well.

My understanding was that enterprise would not recognise Pro/E relations but it would be able to store the files.
We are looking for new options now, trying to get away from enterprise.
Thanks,

Without UG/NX or SE being your primary CAD tool, your decision does become more complicated.

I am leaning towards PDMLink but am looking for references of people that are using PDMLink to manage Solidworks data. I want to make sure that the SW users will have their needs met by the new PDM software.
