Altium has released Concord Pro, a cloud-based ECAD component management platform that allows PCB designers to share and reuse schematics, footprints, 3D models, and other data across the PCB design process. The solution also synchronizes directly with Octopart supply chain data to offer insight into product availability, lead-time, cost, and alternatives.

The Concord Pro platform runs on the Altium 365 cloud infrastructure, and integrates with Solidworks, Invetor, and PTC Creo so that MCAD and ECAD teams can instantly share PCB design updates. Templated component data authoring ensures that information can be easily requested, accessed, and understood from a single location.

Additional features include component traceability that can be used to track where components have been used in the past. The platform also offers role-based access controls so that buyers and manufacturing partners can benefit from the simplified use and maintenance of component libraries.

In addition to a managed cloud offering, Concord Pro can be deployed on-premise and accessed through Altium Designer 19 or 20.
