ENOVIA Program Central Functional Comparison

V6R2011x
November 9, 2010, v2

ENOVIA Program Central is focused at the project managers or leaders within an organization
while ENOVIA Program Experience (PGE) is focused at the project members. Since a project
leader also needs to collaborate with project members, the PRG license includes all PGE
functionality. In addition, ENOVIA Program Central applies a security model to control project
access. Therefore, a licensee of ENOVIA Live Collaboration (CPF) has no access to the
projects. In order to access a project, a user must be a licensee of ENOVIA Program Experience
or ENOVIA Program Central.

The following table can be used to compare ENOVIA Program Central functionality with ENOVIA
Program Experience. After the tables, a glossary for each of the listed functions is provided for
better understanding. Refer to product user guides for more information.
