4. How can we manage
all this data ??
With PLM software .. of course !
●But PLM is not a software...
… it's more a way to manage your data!
Is there any software that can be used to manage PLM process ??
●PDM
●CAD
●FEM
●Custom software

5. The Choice
Could it be another platform ??
 We didn't find another platform so flexible and
complete, ready to use.
Why could it be OpenERP ??
 OpenErp has a plugin system
 It has a development framework
 It has a Document Storage
 It manages Parts (product)
 It manages BOMs
 It manages Rules

6. How are we able to find our place
in the Market ?
Commercial PLM Programs are already in the Market
and they are very well consolidated... E.g.: Siemens,
Ptc, Dassault...
Open Source PLM Products are not mature enough
Lowlevel PLM Products are not very reliable and too
basic
OmniaSolutions has more then 10 years of PLM
experience in development and implementation.

7. Technical Stuff ..
We are really integrated with CAD applications
using Koo Framework (PyQT) to use OpenERP
We use XML-RPC to comunicate with OpenERP
Wedeveloped a COM server that allow CAD
application to speak with OpenERP server
