Hmm...

Quick 30 second scan of the website doesn't reveal if it is a STEP
data-model based PLM or not.

If it is - perhaps there is a quite interesting starting point.

If not (and it maintains separate PLM data, with STEP files only used
to tack on / save 3D models), then - yes - in a way, but without any
real benefits over, say, storing binary blobs from a proprietary CAD
system in the PLM.


STEP is very PLM friendly (it was designed to store all this
information), and has huge amounts of scope for introducing product
lifecycle, change control, configuration management etc.. information.

I would also strongly suspect that the docdokuplm people have focused
on the mechanical side of things, probably with AP203 / AP214 support.
I'm unsure what work it would be to add the AP210 protocol as well.

AP210 shares many aspects with the mechanical application domains, but
I suspect it would require a bit of integration on the PLM side of
things to teach it any variations in entities used, and nuances of the
electrical domain product structure.
