A distinct on-site, server-based design solution, Altium Concord Pro works in harmony with Altium Designer to provide an elegant answer to the question of handling design data with secured integrity. Altium Concord Pro not only provides rock-solid, secure storage of data, but also enables re-release of data as distinctly separate revisions - essentially tracking design changes over time, without overwriting any previously released data. It also caters for the lifecycle of the data to be managed, allowing people that need to use the data to see, at-a-glance, what stage the data has reached in its 'life' and therefore what it can be safely used for.

Altium Concord Pro is used to store and manage components, domain models, schematic sheets of circuitry and design templates. Indeed, you can even create and manage your entire design projects directly within the Server, with the additional benefit of collaboration support, meaning an entire team can work concurrently on the same board design - even annotating the design with comments.

By furnishing a set of reusable design 'building blocks' within Altium Concord Pro, you can embark on fresh projects safe in the knowledge that each model, component, and higher-order design element has been ratified and approved for use, with no having to reinvent the wheel as it were. The Server becomes both the source and destination of design elements, with each new design utilizing elements released to, and managed through, the Server. And by designing only with elements from Altium Concord Pro, the integrity of those designs is inherently assured.

And Altium Concord Pro facilitates bi-directional design collaboration with various supported mechanical design platforms. This enables you to keep MCAD and ECAD design teams on the same page by sharing changes to board shape, component placement, and mounting holes, and intelligently link together 3D component bodies with your electrical component data - creating a unified component model that accurately reflects design intent from the respective domains.
