Ditch the Files: Rethinking PDM for Speed and Security
Product data is the lifeblood of your company - but if you’re still managing it with file-based systems, you’re putting speed, design quality, and the security of your intellectual property at risk.
On August 6th, Onshape founder Jon Hirshtick will sit down with Jed Yeiser, Product Director at K2 Sports, and Adam Samansky, experienced IP lawyer at Mintz Levin, for a conversation on modernizing your Product Data Management (PDM) and the critical role of IP security.
What they’ll cover:
The hidden costs of traditional PDM - from slow design workflows to uncontrolled file sharing
The importance of securing your IP - legal and operational risks of poor access management
How Onshape unlocks faster, safer design - eliminate rework, file conflicts, and security concerns
Whether you’re a fast-moving startup or a global team managing years of legacy data, this session will offer a fresh look at what’s possible with modern, file-free PDM.
We hope to see you there!
