Altium Vault Server Version 1.2 & new TC2 unveiled

Offering enhanced support for connecting to corporate enterprise systems such as ERP and PLM, this new release adds ability to migrate data from one vault to another. Ensuring files are released to meet release requirements and approvals, the re-used design elements offer a proven track record, so components being designed-in are viable for the lifecycle of the product. Organizations have a clear understanding of the upstream and downstream effects of the deprecation of any of these elements using powerful “where-used” capabilities.

“We often see talented design teams having to work within processes that actually stifle innovation and provide little supply chain information during the design phase,” commented Marc Depret, Product Manager at Altium. “Engineers can spend as much as half their day just managing data. With Altium Vault Server 1.2, they can focus on innovation, not endless paperwork and inefficient checklists.”

Key benefits of the Altium Vault Server 1.2 include traceability and Where-Used Information through disciplined revisioning and shortened design cycles through design reuse. Reducing costs, risk reduction through smart supply chain intelligence is conducted during design time, compared to after.

The new TC2 helps organizations centralize and standardize their design environment. Everything from design tool setup and configuration to document templates and manufacturing file formats, can be set up and automatically deployed to each engineer’s desktop. This is a significant development, because failing to maintain a standard set of design styles and tool set-ups has an often overlooked impact on team productivity. Until now, some organizations have turned to alternatives such as OS imaging or endpoint management tools. However these solutions can be complicated to deploy and lack any understanding of a design team’s true requirements.

Pricing is based on an individual organization’s needs, with the Altium Vault Server and TC2 available as separate licensing options. TC2 can be installed standalone or integrated with the Altium Vault Server.
