Five Lessons we’ve learned about PDM for SMEs

Here are five lessons we’ve learned helping small- and medium-sized design and manufacturing organizations (SMEs) with their PDM solutions.  Serve thyself, pilgrim.  If you have fewer than 50 or designers, chances are that you want your team to manage their own data without dedicated, enterprise PLM resources. It’s monstrously cumbersome for a small organization to roll out the big artillery like Airbus or Toyota does with Team Center or Windchill or Enovia. The good news is that your teams...

What is Kenesto?

Kenesto is a robust cloud-based product document management system.

Kenesto was designed by engineers for engineers and designers, delivering a robust solution for small- and medium-sized companies, especially those working in a diverse ecosystem with many types of documents. With the Kenesto Drive service on a PC, CAD and other applications work directly with the cloud documents just like a local drive, always ensuring access to the most current document. Kenesto provides the necessary tools needed to easily share, view, collaborate with external users, manage permissions, create versions, and lock documents for day-to-day work. Kenesto provides engineers and designers the power, simplicity, and flexibility beyond consumer cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox, and a great alternative to complex and expensive traditional PDM systems.

“Kenesto stands out as a leader in forward-thinking online engineering data management. We now have a secure, cloud-based solution for product document management, collaboration and version control, accessible from wherever we are in the world. On top of that, the Kenesto Drive feature allows our team to interact with our data as though it were a mapped server drive.”

Josh Adams, PE, Founding Principal, Apollo Engineering Design Group

“Kenesto is more than a collaboration tool – it’s fully-customizable to work with your processes and designs, and it provides a virtual workspace to store, view, and manage your data.”

–Elise Moss, Senior Mechanical/Thermal Engineer

“Kenesto has helped us structure our communication flow so that all involved can see the status of every campaign at a glance.”

–Erin Howell, Digital Campaign Manager, MEDIATA

We've switched to Kenesto this year and it has been great. Enjoying no longer chasing around loose ends caused by mismatched master assembly versions.

I've been using Kenesto Drive with Solidworks for a while now. I like that its Cloud-based, secure access and automatic file locking prevent version control headaches.

We started using Kenesto Drive a few months ago and it's been really nice so far. Kenesto was really easy to set up and the web portal is really handy as well. For a team like ours with nearly 60 people working on different parts of the car, the benefits over Solidworks PDM are pretty clear.
