The
Autodesk® Productstream®
family of product data management (PDM) applications provides
a modular and practical approach to controlling your design
data. Accelerate development cycles and optimize your company’s
investment in design data by using Productstream software
to organize information, manage data, and automate key processes.
- Maximize return on your company’s investment in
design data by driving design reuse.
- Maintain control over design data at all times,
and create accurate engineering BOMs that can be used
to predict the effect and cost of change.
- Benefit from better collaboration among designers,
design workgroups, manufacturers, and suppliers.
Productstream is tightly integrated
with Autodesk® Inventor™ software, all AutoCAD® software–based
manufacturing products, and third-party design and productivity
applications such as SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER®, and Microsoft®
Office software.

KollabNet develops Design Management
software, enabling greater control over the engineering
process. Faced with increasing global competition, companies
are forced to continually develop innovative, high quality
products, at lower costs and in shorter periods of time
in order to grow market share. Traditional data editing
and management tools (PDM, CAD, Requirements Management,
etc …) and Process Management tools (MRP, ERP, etc …) by
themselves cannot propel organizations to where they need
to be.
- Capture and Visualize Design know-how
- Predict Impact of Change
- Manage Trade-offs
- Provide Design Traceability and Consistency
- Manage Product Architecture
With KollabNet’s Design Management
tool, companies can integrate existing silos of information
resulting in capturing and leveraging the complete “story”
behind the design and leading to the next level of competitiveness
and profitability.
