As companies grow, however, the complexity of product data makes it increasingly difficult to manage projects effectively – hence the invention of Product Data Management (PDM) systems. As part of the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process, PDM systems aid product developers by providing standardized workflows and enforcing company regulations and policies. Despite this, the variety of different company models and the strict nature of PDM and PLM systems make it virtually impossible to establish a uniform PDM and PLM solution. This has led to the common misapprehension that PDM systems are “all or nothing”, that they take a long time to implement and are extremely expensive. The foundation of any PDM system is the way the data is stored. This is where we assume the vast majority of PDM systems differentiate themselves
