Founded in Australia in 1985, Altium Limited, known as Protel Systems until 2001, is a pioneer in providing computer-based electronic board design environments. The company foresaw the success of Windows early on and fully relied on this operating system.
Today, Altium markets Altium Designer Standard, Altium Designer Pro and Altium Designer Enterprise. Designer Pro and Designer Enterprise emerged from the former Altium Vault. All three systems are used in the development of printed circuit boards.
Holistic cooperation in Altium
Altium Designer Enterprise as an EDM system includes the structured and consistent management of all data, which is generated during the development or modification of printed circuit boards during their life cycle. However, developer of electronics also depend on information from other departments. Be it change requests or requirements for the electronics from product management, only conventional methods remain to exchange information.
