PIVOT Data Management System (DMS) Overview
Mentor’s Data Management System ensures library integrity throughout the component lifecycle. DMS centralizes
library creation, management, distribution and end user functionality. This enables even dispersed authors of library and
component data to collaboratively work on a single library system. Engineers utilize DMS in their native authoring
environment to research parts and reuse blocks based on electrical and commercial aspects, eliminating research and
comparison across multiple views or systems.
All component and library data within DMS can be made available to any user through a browser-based viewer,
expanding a holistic library and component view for electronic parts into the entire organization. The DMS solution is
readily scalable, and our product suite offers solutions for smaller size customers all the way up through full multi-site
global customers.
To aid with the rapid deployment of DMS throughout your environment, Mentor Graphics offers comprehensive DMS
