PDXpert Software Named Top 10 PLM

PDXpert PLM ranks most affordable in the Business-Software.com "Top 10 Product Lifecycle Management Software Report"

DENVER, Colorado, August 5, 2014 -- Active Sensing, Inc. (ASI) has been recognized by Business-Software.com as a leading PLM software vendor for its PDXpert® product lifecycle management software. The Top 10 Product Lifecycle Management Software Report places PDXpert's affordability ahead of all other PLM solutions, including public cloud "SaaS" software, noting that a "full system starts at $49/user/month". (With volume discounts, subscriptions can be as low as $20/user/month.) As the only Top 10 PLM with a choice of subscription or perpetual licenses, PDXpert PLM allows companies to select the best financial and administrative model for their needs.

The Top 10 Report also identifies PDXpert PLM as one of only five solutions that supports both on-site and off-site installation. Customers can easily move PDXpert from an internal server to private cloud, change hosting providers, or choose to bring the server back on site. PDXpert software's proven on-site or private cloud deployment provides the lowest cost over time as well as the most control over security, performance, configuration, and upgrades. And its forward secrecy encryption is generally acknowledged as more secure than typical SaaS providers' TLS/SSL static certificates.

PDXpert software includes standard PLM features like part and BOM management, approved source control, flexible item number assignment, file revision control, and engineering change workflow with email notifications. PDXpert PLM Release 9 adds a client-side parts list cache for ODBC-compliant CAD like Altium Designer, OrCAD CIS and Mentor PADS.
