New PLM Software Developed Specifically for Small Business
PDXpert Offers Fast, Affordable "Download & Run" Product Management
CASTLE ROCK, Colorado, January 23, 2007 -- Active Sensing,
Inc. (ASI) today released PDXpert® PLM product lifecycle management
software, which is specifically designed to meet the requirements of growing
companies.
Until now, many PLM solutions sold to smaller companies
have been repackaged versions of enterprise-class software, simply
concealing irrelevant features while still demanding an expensive IT
infrastructure. Usability is often sacrificed, and training and support
costs increased, by deploying heavy 1990s-era Java clients, web servers and
database servers. Even the purchase can be time-consuming: suppliers
emphasize process over results with uninformative websites, multiple sales
calls, complicated service proposals, and annoying license negotiations.
In contrast, PDXpert PLM has been designed to address
smaller companies' data management processes: it's simple to use and
flexible to apply while improving product data accessibility and security.
PDXpert PLM offers true PLM capabilities: document and part definition, bill
of materials (BOM) management, electronic file library (vault), and change
forms with approval workflow. Its rich client includes advanced features
like free-form text searches; category-based item numbering; drag-and-drop
construction of parts and bills of materials; unique undo/redo editing;
user-defined custom properties; and easy data export.
Equally important, ASI has streamlined the entire
evaluation, purchase and support experience to reflect a smaller company's
acquisition needs. ASI's website offers immediate access to product
literature; free, fully-functional evaluation software via download; helpful
technical installation and configuration documentation; attractive no-haggle
pricing; and flexible perpetual- and subscription-based licensing
alternatives. Questions are answered by a friendly, knowledgeable support
team.
A complete single-user PDXpert PLM system can be installed
for just US$999, and volume discounts reduce licenses to as little as US$499
per user; maintenance contracts are optional. An all-inclusive subscription
license costs as little as US$25 per month, well below ASP-hosted PLM
systems. PDXpert PLM is available now at the
www.BuyPLM.com website.
