[QUOTE=veenuraj]Hi,
Can somebody over there tell me in detail what are the responsibilities of a PDMS Administrator and what will going to happen if he is not there in a company or if a company is not having any PDMS Admin.

That is a good question.
I think the PDMS admin's responsiblity is:
1. set up projects
2. maintain software versions, look for upgrade on projects if new features warrant an upgrade.
3. help daily project needs, such as Cats/spec issues, iso debugging, draft setup, database maintainence.
4. interface with company IT to ensure Global runs properly
5. look for work process improvements and write / help spec out PML automation.
6. Anything your boss wants done.
If there is no PDMS admin, well, if the project is setup properly, it can run on autopilot for a while until something happens and it crashes. And then the design manager will wonder why the MTO is wrong and why the draft drawings are corrupted. And then they scramble to find someone to clean up the mess, pay for a lot money for it.
That is my experience here in US. However there are a few companies that tries to keep their "core competence" team and give them a "cushy" job being "PDMS Czars".
The rate for PDMS designer is at high $50s in Houston, admins - I do not have data, but it heard numbers north of $60s.
So if you do not make that much in US now, it is time to make a visit with your boss and explain the "supply and demand" theory.
