How EpiGrid hosting works

How does PDM on the Cloud Work?

PDM on the Cloud works just like it would with a local server. Your team connects to a virtual server to access PDM tools and data. Whether it's on a local server or a virtual machine, users can check files in and out, track revisions, and manage approvals via Windows File Explorer – all with the same functionality.
