Altium Vault 2.1 improves workflow and usability for day-to-day operations saving even more time and reducing the risk of human error.

The Altium Vault provides design teams with a centralised, shared location to manage the organisation’s components and supply chain data. Managed copies of all templates, reference designs and current designs, complete with precise change information, version and revision history are also provided, as is the ability to effectively collaborate on projects across all design domains and even co-design in real-time on the same PCB. Design environment infrastructure management tools for IT departments also come as standard with each purchase.

The Altium Vault is offered in three bundles, the Component, Workgroup, and Enterprise Editions, tailored to small, mid-sized and enterprise teams respectively. Altium Vault 2.1 can be purchased through Altium sales offices and authorised resellers. For existing Altium Vault Server license holders with Subscription, Altium Vault 2.1 is a free upgrade.
