Effective design management is essential to achieving time-to-market, quality and cost objectives of design organizations. Solid Edge Insight unites design management capabilities with the powerful Solid Edge CAD tools that engineers and designers use every day. 

Solid Edge Insight is an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates CAD, design management and web-based collaboration into a single tool that is easy to implement and easy to manage. Insight removes the perceived barriers to successful PDM implementation, while still providing the fundamental capabilities that companies expect in order to successfully manage design data.

Built on top of proven tools developed by Microsoft, Insight manages and leverages product information in a manner that is unobtrusive and transparent in the daily CAD work routine. With Solid Edge Insight, it is impossible to have a drawing file that is out of date from the 3D model or have unreleased parts in a released assembly — essential control factors when sharing information in a collaborative workflow.

Unlike conventional product data management systems, Solid Edge Insight is not a separate software package with additional commands and long implementation timelines. Instead, Insight is an integral component of Solid Edge, available at no additional cost, which requires no user training and can be implemented in hours instead of months or years.
