On the heels of releasing a major upgrade to its SolidWorks CAD platform this summer, SolidWorks Corp. tended to its Product Data Management (PDM) line, rolling out a new version of its high-end offering that aims to improve the productivity of global design teams. Headlining the new PDMWorks Enterprise 2008 upgrade are a host of new features relating to bill of materials (BOM) management, as well as improved replication across multiple sites, data connectivity enhancements, and performance boosts, among other capabilities. SolidWorks executives said the 2008 release — the second major upgrade to the platform since the company's May 2006 acquisition of the Conisio PDM tool from Swedish developer CS Scandinavia AB — would position PDMWorks Enterprise more competitively in the PDM arena, where SolidWorks has lagged companies such as PTC and Dassault.
