Integrated Partner Solutions
Purpose-Built Solution for Workflow Efficiency

The demand for innovative and efficient product data management (PDM) software has soared in the rapidly changing and technologically advanced engineering domain. Embracing evolution, the sophisticated PDM applications have blurred the lines that once distinguished the differences between a PDM application and a product life-cycle management (PLM) application. An ideal PDM/PLM system that facilitates effective and secure design data management, material information administration, file sharing, tracking, knowledge transfer, and enhanced collaboration is an acute need of organizations especially after the major shift from on-premise to a hybrid of on-premise and remote working modes. While many solutions fail to meet this requirement, Wisconsin-based Integrated Partner Solutions, a pioneer in engineering document management, is addressing these concerns with result-oriented products and solutions.

Since its inception, Integrated Partner Solutions has cemented its position as a reliable and proven PDM/PLM partner for document management needs, with an emphasis on flexibility, accessibility and security. Their utilitarian product, MechWorks PDM, provides a vertical solution that promotes a single source of truth (SSOT), team collaboration, and data sharing across applications. The out-ofthe- box solution effortlessly eliminates complex, manual data re-entry in multiple locations or applications, thereby reducing data redundancy and possible errors. In addition, MechWorks PDM enables organizations to distribute and share design data with ease while maintaining both user and file security standards.

“With flexibility at the core, MechWorks PDM comes with assured functions and features that can be activated and deactivated, allowing it to promote adaptation within evolving client environments,” says Gene Perry, VP, Integrated Partner Solutions. A noteworthy feature within MechWorks PDM is its configurability that allows the product to promptly sync with the client’s work environment, regardless of the size or the complexity of engineering processes. To ensure clients can reap the full benefits of MechWorks PDM, the company undertakes a thorough audit prior to an initial installation to gain a clear understanding of the client's expectations. As the working environment of the client develops and evolves after the initial installation of MechWorks PDM, the company provides further training plans centered on the solution.

In addition to predominant mechanical and electrical engineering companies, Integrated Partner Solutions serves a myriad of organizations across industries, including aerospace and healthcare.

The customers range from small organizations with a simple environment and small teams to big enterprises with complex environments and large workforces. What sets MechWorks PDM apart is its superior integrations with CAD tools and advanced features designed for engineering departments of all sizes. For instance, it is configurable for team collaborating where multiple design files are treated as a single unit when together, they represent a single part number. MechWorks PDM supports workflow branching, parallel group workflow states, and dynamic workflow states that enables its workflows to be collaborative and effective.

Another competitive edge of MechWorks PDM is its advanced CAD application integrations with SolidWorks, Inventor, and Solid Edge. The unrivaled application integrations allow engineering personnel to deal with several tight spots regarding design processes, including tracking files within a huge database and making them accessible in a secure manner. Along with secure administration of master data, the ground-breaking product is also curated to distribute engineering bill-ofmaterial (BOM) data into the ERP system rather than manually reentering the data, thereby ensuring data integrity instead of data chaos.

Over the years, Integrated Partner Solutions has witnessed steady growth and enormous appreciation from its customer base owing to the constant advancements and improvements within MechWorks PDM. Striding ahead, the company plans to focus on the advanced workflow features of MechWorks PDM to produce coherent data management for longevity. “Through MechWorks PDM, we strive to exceed our customers’ expectations, knowledgeable, and able to rely on a single source of truth while enabling their environment to evolve,” says Perry.
