You may have been using SOLIDWORKS for a while, or maybe you are just getting started. Whatever the case may be, there has never been a better time than now to think about managing all the files that you’re creating. Issues with missing references, incorrect revisions of drawings being used in production, or even overwritten files are all common challenges that are difficult to solve without a proper product data management (PDM) software.
当涉及使用扎实的作品，有几种不同的数据管理选项。那么，您怎么知道哪一个适合您呢？使用每个工具都有独特的好处。让我们分解每个选项的好处。
Benefits of SOLIDWORKS PDM/SOLIDWORKS Manage
Robust configurability：SolidWorks PDM和SolidWorks管理高度可配置，因此请调整文档工作流程，用户和组权限的某些操作，甚至任务自动化都很简单。
软件integration：如果您的目标是为您的PDM系统提供一种自动方法，将数据推入另一个业务系统，例如ERP软件，扎实的作品PDMProfessional and扎实的作品Managecan accommodate these types of integration.
Control of your own environment: The traditional setup for a SOLIDWORKS PDM or SOLIDWORKS Manage environment is on server hardware that you own. If you are a fan of having control over that hardware and security of the environment, this is a great option for you.
Short learning curve: Since we are dealing with Windows Explorer as the primary interface for SOLIDWORKS PDM, it’s quick for users to get up to speed when implementing this tool.
Cloud Hosted SOLIDWORKS PDM/SOLIDWORKS Manage
扎实的作品PDM and SOLIDWORKS Manage … but in the cloud. Of course, you have all the same benefits here that we talked about above, but what if you need something a bit more flexible in terms of how your users access SOLIDWORKS PDM or Manage? If you do, installing SOLIDWORKS PDM on a hosted cloud service such as Microsoft Azure or AWS might be the route for you.

3Dexperience平台（SolidWorks的协作设计师）
麻烦的无数据管理：对于不必担心必须设置服务器或配置其PDM系统功能的团队，这对您来说是一个不错的选择。使用Solidworks的协作设计师等工具，您可以连接到云数据管理存储库，以利用修订控制和写入访问。这将确保每个人都在整个团队中的同一页面上，而您仍在Solidworks进行设计。
One Unified Platform with 3DEXPERIENCE: When you’re ready to take advantage of advanced capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, such as high end analysis with SIMULIA or PLM with ENOVIA, you’ll already have your data ready to go on the platform. Simply keep adding the roles that you need for additional capabilities.
There are a lot of other reasons to pursue any one of these data management solutions. Hopefully these highlights can help you begin on the right path forward.
