This article shows how the BOM Portal gives procurement teams early, continuous visibility into Bill of Materials Data, enabling them to identify supply chain risks, evaluate alternatives, and optimize costs while designs are still flexible. It walks through key workflows such as BOM creation, risk analysis, supplier comparison, consolidation, and lifecycle monitoring; all designed to replace reactive sourcing with proactive, data-driven decision making. Read on to learn how these tutorials can help you stay ahead of supply challenges, collaborate more effectively, and drive more confident procurement outcomes.
This article outlines a practical approach to implementing Altium through structured change management, focusing on communication, leadership alignment, goal setting, governance, and ongoing adoption support. It shows how to guide teams through the transition, build engagement, and measure success while reinforcing skills and continuous improvement during the rollout. Read on to learn how to drive successful adoption and ensure your organization realizes lasting value from your investment.
This video demonstrates some of the general settings within the Admin Section of a user's workspace. It also contains general information on topics such as the workspace, name, description, URL, and server location. The video begins by renaming the workspace, adding a description, and viewing the server location for the workspace data and the URL. Once changes are made, users are instructed to log out and log back into the workspace to view those changes. Afterwards, the workspace name is changed to eliminate confusion between multiple workspaces.
