Replication offers an advantage in a widely distributed PLM system by increasing the speed with which users can retrieve files.
Companies may have global “follow-the-sun” product development and manufacturing operations or multiple locations or divisions that require local vaults supported with replication. Quick, secure access to critical product data is pivotal to collaboration and meeting development deadlines. The ability to enforce replication rules and security permission regardless of where the data is being viewed is a key component of PLM.
