Foundation is an implementation package for PDM Standard, developed and deployed by Solid Solutions Management.

The package has been developed to ensure that our customers are able to minimise the ‘Implementation Gap’ typically associated with the introduction of any new technology, rapidly gaining a return on their investment. This is achieved through the delivery of a best in class ‘Out of the Box’ solution designed to address the immediate needs of our Customers whilst acting as a Foundation to be built upon should your requirements change.

SOLIDWORKS PDM STANDARD FOUNDATION IMPLEMENTATION

Pre-requisites

Foundation is an Implementation Service, it does not include any additional licenses of PDM Standard you may require for users who do not have SOLIDWORKS Professional 2016 or above installed on their PC. You have a suitable Server which matches, or exceeds, the minimum requirements as published on SOLIDWORKS.com.

Your nominated System Administrator must be available throughout the deployment day.

IT support must also be available throughout the deployment day

What you need to know...

Foundation takes just one day to deploy, combining both the server software installation, plus the creation and roll out of a single PDM Vault based on a pre-configured template.

Installation and deployment will be done hand in hand with your nominated Administrator and will include some basic training as the vault is localised to suit your company’s requirements.
