With its cloud-based platform Altium 365, the company enables seamless collaboration between designers, suppliers and manufacturers to optimize the entire development process.
Altium presents Altium Discover, Altium Develop and Altium Lifecycle, three new solutions that cover the entire electronics development lifecycle. These solutions make it possible to efficiently design the path from part and component selection to production. Altium Discover facilitates the first step, the quick selection and assembly of prototypes from various components, such as microprocessors and other components. Once the prototyping phase is complete, Altium Develop supports detailed design, while Altium Lifecycle provides a secure environment for larger companies to accurately document and manage every step of the product lifecycle.
Altium offers customized solutions for companies of different sizes. Altium Develop is aimed at small and medium-sized companies and provides a comprehensive platform that integrates all the necessary tools from prototype development to production hardware. Altium Lifecycle, on the other hand, is specially designed for large companies and places particular emphasis on security and comprehensive documentation of development decisions throughout the entire product lifecycle.
