Some companies may love it - especially the companies with bigger teams or companies what need to follow standards. So, once you installed Concord Pro and you have it running, there is still some work to do until it can be fully used to it's possibilities. you need to agree on the rules so everybody is using it the same way. Now, even it looks like once you have Concord Pro, you have full setup for perfect Hardware Development department - you still need to come up with some rules how your team is going to use it - e.g naming conventions, structures, etc.

all this will be then easily accessible and manageable from Altium. Simply to say, Altium can connect (everything what you need to set in Altium is address, login & password to your Concord Pro) to this software and once you are connected, you can work with the content you stored in Concord - you can work with projects, libraries, components, templates, etc.

So, simply to say, once you start using it, there is no simple way to go away from it - you will have to keep paying the licenses.Ĭoncord PRO is an independent stand alone piece of software running on your server (or on a PC in your company or in cloud). it is a piece of software which you feed up with hours and hours of your work and you do not have control over that software (you do not have full control over the hours and hours of your work). However - it is an extra cost (you have to pay extra licenses) and what I do not like. Also Concord Pro integrates everything together and it is well supported directly in Altium (so with Concord you can for example see where components are used - not possible with external libraries). database, libraries, svn / git, file versioning etc. Concord Pro is basically a system where you can manage your projects and libraries - if you do not use Concord Pro, you have to setup everything by yourself e.g.

I am not planning to use Concord Pro in my own company so in final I didn't make the video. I have played with Concord Pro for some time.
