Give me a good justification to purchase PCDMIS over other CMM software

vanwhyjr
Our procurement people need a justification why we "have" to have PCDMIS instead of some other CMM software on the market. Does anyone have any factual info we can send them?? We already have 5 machines running it! Trying to get a 6th and they are giving us a hard time! Angry

Thank you,

    Why a sixth cmm? Why not a boat or nifty motorcycle or something else? Oh, to check parts just like the other five...

    If you want the sixth machine to work just like the other five, then keep on with the same software, unless there is a major functionality compelling reason not to. Being able to move programs without having to rewrite them into another language is a major productivity need. Although there are cheaper software options out there, since you are fairly entrenched with PcDmis on multiple machines already, the time lost to training and coming up to speed on software "X" along with reprogramming will cannibalize the savings over time. I'm not PcDmis's biggest fan, but I do like swapping programs between machines at will as needed.
