vCDM
Professional Calibration Data ManagementProfessional Calibration Data Management with vCDM
vCDM is the database-supported platform for calibration teams. Work results are efficiently merged, and potential data conflicts are avoided or detected and resolved. All data changes are seamlessly tracked.
A large number of variants can be controlled by meta data, organization of dependencies, components, automatic calculation of parameter value and re-use of work packages. Datasets are consistent and have high data quality. Data mining and report functions improve the quality and efficiency of your processes.
Calibration data is graphically displayed and manually processed with the proven vCDMstudio editor as a powerful work environment for the calibrator.
Webinar
From the ECU to the Cloud
You want to learn about the calibration data management possibilities with CANape? The built-it local dataset management helps to manage variant datasets and baselines. CANape Option vCDM extends these capabilities seamlessly to a central management that allows collaboration in teams and resolves conflicting changes. Finally vCDMcenter extends all by adding roles & rights, process control and variant concise variant management. Learn to the vCDM Server can effortlessly commissioned as cloud-based software-as-a-service solution.
The webinar is free of charge.
Advantages
- Team efficiency: Avoid, detect and resolve data conflicts

vCDM in "Software-as-a-Service" mode
Tight IT resources & limited budget
In contrast to software for measurement and calibration of ECUs, a data management solution is not a single-user based solution. Besides the user access to the PC, vCDM also consists of a server and the database. Like any business solution, vCDM requires the support of the IT department for operation and maintenance. Although the IT effort is low, major challenges in the department often arise in the competition for limited IT resources. In many cases, the result is time delays and additional, high internal costs. Small companies and departments therefore often decide not to use calibration data management – in spite of the technical advantages.
The need for data management frequently emerges from the technical requirements in a project. In the classic software license model, the procurement costs for a data management solution must be paid from the project budget or the purchase must be prepared for well in advance in the budget planning. For this reason, the frequently large inefficiencies resulting from manual data management are accepted because the purchase of a calibration data management solution is not practical.
Vector supports you in the use of vCDM by offering a new “Software-as-a-Service” offer. In this case, Vector provides the necessary infrastructure (hardware, software, and database) that you can subscribe to on a project-related basis. All procurement and maintenance costs are thus eliminated. All services for operation (data backup, database maintenance, and many more) are included in the subscription costs. The annual subscription costs also include one software update including data migration so that the latest product features can always be used. Vector Support is available to answer your technical questions.
Your department can thus use a CDM solution quickly without effort and simultaneously has full cost transparency.
A high level of data security is guaranteed through many security measures (encryption, client separation, ISO 27001). Selected globally distributed computing centers ensure fast response times.
This Software-as-a-Service offer is available starting with vCDM Version 5.8 and CANape Version 15.0.
- No internal expenses for installation, operation and maintenance of vCDM server and database by experts of Vector
- High level of data security through client separation and ISO 27001 certification

- Scaling of the server components (small, medium, large) according to your requirements
- Competent technical support during Vector service hours
Scope of services:
- User access via the vCDM client application (subscription or purchase)
- Annual software update (as of the 13th month)
- Minimum scope: 1 year subscription, 5 users
