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.
