PDM Information Center

PDM/PLM systems form the backbone of end-to-end IT support for product and production development. They manage all technical data and documents for a product throughout its entire life cycle. In addition, they support users in planning, controlling, documenting and communicating the product life cycle of product developments and technical changes.

Product histories are documented and processes remain traceable.

At the PDM/PLM Information Centre, companies receive neutral and system-independent support in the company-specific selection and introduction of PDM/PLM systems. The experts at Fraunhofer IAO can draw on the know-how gained from numerous projects involving the reorganisation of organisational units and have extensive experience in process management and process-oriented team design.
