We are currently using SW2004 in our design & engineering depts, and are committed to a PDM/EDM solution in the very near future. PDMWorks is the likely (obvious?) choice. We have a varied mix of legacy data, both 2D/3D CAD, various flavours of CAM and others. We also run Novell servers here, and as a result, look like being forced down the MS Windows Server route with all the additional costs which this entails. In a previous firm we used Cyco "Automanager Workflow" software for our mainly Autocad-based design dept, but the current versions of this seem to require Windows Server/Adv Server now too. Are there really no alternatives to the Microsoft route? Any opinions greatly appreciated.
