PDM Enterprise
PDM Enterprise
(OP)
Our company is looking to use PDM enterprise to help streamline our documentation.
We recieved a quote and...ouch. Our IT guys also informed us that if it uses "Microsoft SQL Server" we can look to spend a whole lot more cause of the software anf hardware required to run it.
We are a relatively small company (150 or so, including production).
Has anyone this size implemented PDM and how much did it cost you, if you don't mind me asking.

If first you do succeed...try something harder.

RE: PDM Enterprise
If you using a PLM, such as offerings from Oracle or SAP, you can use their PDM modules.
However, any good PDM is going to use SQL, and there's nothing ground breaking about SQL, so it seems rather silly for IT to be protesting its implementation. It can even run on the same server as the EPDM! Heck, even blogs and wikis run on SQL.
You may wish to shop around for a PDM that fits your needs. There's a lot more options available that your VAR may be telling you. I'll just got done writing an article about this (ironically), and it will be available Monday:

RE: PDM Enterprise
We already run SQL on our servers that need it.
From what our IT guys say it would cost us about an additional 50k to get a server capable of running "Microsoft" SQL.
-OR-
They're just blowing smoke cause they don't want to deal with it.
I dont know.

RE: PDM Enterprise
Can anyone confirm that SQL may come with EPDM?
I haven't contacted my VAR yet.
Anna...nice cpu specs, how do you like Win7?

Why are you stirring the pot with PDM Workgroup, oops, I mean Workgroup PDM, my bad, and it being obsolete soon. That's my job to stir the pot! LOL!
Really, SW is falling into the realm of CATIA as far as selling different modules of the software and charging ya out the butt for them.
