Insight

Solid Edge Insight is an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates design management, CAD and web-based collaboration into a single tool that is easy to implement and easy to manage. Insight removes the perceived barriers to product data management (PDM) implementation, while still providing the fundamental capabilities that companies expect in order to successfully manage the design process.

Built on the popular Microsoft SharePoint platform that has more than 100 million licenses and 17,000 customers in businesses of all types and sizes, Insight manages and leverages product information in a manner that is unobtrusive and transparent enabling design projects to be completed on-time and on-budget.

Unlike conventional product data management systems, Solid Edge Insight is not a separate software package with additional commands and long implementation timelines. Instead, Insight is an integral component of Solid Edge, available at no additional cost. Insight requires only limited user training and can be implemented in days instead of months.
