Store & Revise

  • Access secure, CAD-intelligent, cloud-based storage without needing to purchase or maintain local servers.
  • Implement holistic revision management, file locking for concurrent design, and the ability to revert to previous versions.
cloud services manage and control

Manage & Control

  • Utilise the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to assign tasks, manage resources, and oversee processes like Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) as your company scales.

Key Benefits of Cloud Services

Connect your SOLIDWORKS desktop to the cloud. Access secure data storage, collaborative markup, and revision management via the powerful 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Eliminate Local Servers

Gain robust data management and revision control without the capital cost or maintenance burden of physical servers and complex PDM infrastructure.

Seamless Data Continuity

Keep your data connected from design through to manufacturing, ensuring a single, up-to-date source of truth for all stakeholders.

Global Collaboration

Securely share designs and gather feedback from colleagues, contractors, or clients anywhere in the world via a web browser.

CAD-Intelligent Storage

The system understands and manages SOLIDWORKS file relationships and revisions, preventing accidental overwrites and data loss.

Direct Workflow Access

Access cloud storage, file locking, and revision commands directly from the familiar SOLIDWORKS desktop interface.

Pathway to 3DEXPERIENCE

Provides an essential, low-friction entry point to the advanced PLM, Simulation (SIMULIA), and Manufacturing (DELMIA) roles available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is a business-wide cloud environment that connects SOLIDWORKS users to Dassault Systèmes' extensive portfolio of engineering solutions.

It operates on a modular system of licensed roles, offering access to tools from major brands like CATIA, ENOVIA, and SIMULIA. All programs use the same design files, establishing a single source of truth that improves cross-department collaboration and simplifies data management across your business.

We can help you discover the specific roles that will bring the most value to your requirements.
