IFS ERP's integrated PDM package

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with IFS's (an ERP package) integrated PDM
package? We are being sold on this integrated package. I'm looking for
pit falls etc. Thanks,

 

Get some advice from the people who have already seen the pitfalls and
extreme wastes of both money & time, from having lived through these
implementations.

Matt Lombard has had a pdf on his website regarding PDM (& similar)
packages, and there are lots of things which happen which are not
mentioned by the "salesmen".

Paying a SWCP for advice might be the least expensive way to go.

I believe DBWorks PDM has an integration with IFS ERP?

 

If you're referring to a Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP), a CSWP
only demonstrates ones ability with respect to Solidworks, it's add-ins and
test taking.
I have to disagree with paying a CSWP for advice on this.

 

I should have said a CSWP who is a consultant on CAD system
implementations in the size company and industry you work in, so he
has hands on experience of what goes right and what doesn't.

Thanks - Bo

 

I also remember that about a year back was an extensive set of
discussions regarding PLM, PDM and similar packages in this newsgroup,
so those are easy to search out.

I've search them out and found nothing on IFS specifically which is
the quest of my posting.

 

Ok it looks like we are considering the following packages;

1. IFS. They are proposing to use their document vault to keep the
Solidworks files (they have some sort of Solidworks plug-in that does
this)

2. Syteline.

3. JD Edwards.

Any comments or experiences most appreciated. Thanks.
