Engineering document management (EDM) software is designed to manage, control, and track engineering documents and data throughout the project lifecycle. Engineering document management, or engineering information management software, is a collaboration tool designed to scan, locate, and manage an organization's complex engineering documents, information, and designs. It provides a centralized and consistent repository for engineering data, facilitating communication among project stakeholders, ensuring compliance, enabling document version control, and enhancing efficiency. While there is some overlap between product data management (PDM), ECM, and engineering document management, each serves distinct core functions. PDM is primarily used by manufacturing companies to manage product data from design to production. In contrast, ECM focuses on managing general business documentation without a specific emphasis on engineering content. Engineering document management software is specifically tailored to handle engineering content related to plant facilities, equipment, and more.
