When you buy a new car, the initial purchase price does not include taxes, license or registration fees, maintenance or insurance – all of which can add up to a significant expense. The same dynamic applies to CAD and Product Data Management (PDM) software.

In this guide, you’ll learn about the hidden ongoing expenses associated with file-based desktop engineering software, including:

• Software Licenses & Floating License Taxes

• Annual Software Maintenance Feed

• Consulting Fees for PDM Implementation and Data Migration

• Hardware Costs: High-Performance CAD Workstations, Servers and Networking Equipment

• Efficiency and Opportunity Costs

You’ll also compare the benefits of traditional file-based CAD and PDM versus cloud-native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, and how these differences will positively impact your total cost of ownership.
