OpenCLM 3.0 makes Integration in IT Landscapes even easier

The OpenCLM digital thread solution makes it possible to link relevant information from the IT systems used in different domains and disciplines. This makes it easier to track the status of development projects or orchestrate change management across domain boundaries. The new version of OpenCLM now offers a generic connector that can be used to access all tried-and-tested connectors and systems that are connected to OpenPDM. This means that the solution can be integrated in heterogeneous IT landscapes with a minimum of effort. The new user guide, which also includes video tutorials, simplifies the implementation of the digital thread solution.

The development team has also created the option of connecting OpenCLM to an existing role and rights management system via LDAP. This means that access to the information can be controlled more explicitly without having to define new roles and rights for accessing the information in OpenCLM.

The introduction of load rules and precise links, another new feature in OpenCLM 3.0, allows different versions to be linked across different projects with an even greater degree of flexibility. Users normally always reference the current version during the development of a new component. But they also have the option of replacing this load rule with a precise link to a specific version with just a few clicks of the mouse once development has been completed. This makes further development and reuse of their components in other product platforms and contexts easier.
