Agenda

Aras Differences

Aras Focus


Demo


Narrow focus on 3D mechanical design only – reducing the rest of company to islands of home grown and 3rd party applications and EXCEL

Customization is too expensive

▫ prevents upgrades and support

▫ not agile enough to adapt as fast as the business needs

Implementation takes too long

Too difficult to use

Licensing model is wrong for the enterprise

▫ PDM/PLM is priced as a specialist’s tool

Aras view of Legacy PLM

Companies Choosing Aras …

Either▫ Have No current PLM system

▫ Are Replacing global legacy PLM / PDM

▫ Integrate Aras with existing PDM /PLM (co-existence)

Often use Aras for high user count or end to end processes ▫ NPDI / NPI / Stage-Gate

▫ Enterprise engineering change

▫ Quality management & compliance

▫ . . . Many more

www.aras.com7© 2017 - Aras General

At Aras we’ve taken a different approach

▫ Technology: Model-based SOA

▫ Business: SaaS subscription model

▫ Implementation: Overlay/Agile approach

We’ve built a solution that:

▫ Removes unnecessary barriers to collaboration

▫ Adapts to your business, not the other way around

▫ Changes the economics of PLM in your favor

That delivers greater benefits sooner and a lower TCOwww.aras.com

Technology

www.aras.com

Flexible

▫ Available applications can be quickly customized to fit your business and changed at any time

Scalable

▫ Performance proven to scale to 250,000 concurrent users

Upgradable

▫ Upgrades to new versions (including customizations) performed by Aras


How is this possible?

Aras’s architecture: Model-Based SOA

Clean separation of web services vs. data model

Strict internal policies on backward compatibility

What’s different?

Aras performs the major version upgrades including the application code tree and database schema

Includes updating any custom changes

Keeps your solution on current technologies

Minimizes risk and preserves your investment

Technology - Upgradable

▫ 16 Years with Aras Innovator

▫ 10 major version upgrades

▫ No lost Integrations

▫ No lost customization investments


Technology - Flexible

Modeling Engine Full-featured enterprise application development

environment

Defines data, processes, logic, UI, permissions, etc.

Portable models can be moved between Dev/Test/Prod environments and to other Aras Innovator systems

Aras Applications are created using the Modeling Engine and can be easily changed – best of both worlds

Why does this matter? Fastest way to create and change applications

Applications are easily upgraded

Self-documenting

“Aras’s modelling capabilities … enable solutions to be developed quickly”

Users

Technology - ScalableToyota’s 100k User Challenge

How does Aras achieve absurdly high scalability results?

Only one IT technology partner means we can optimize

All custom changes are driven to the database to take advantage of SQL engine optimization, indexes and constraints

All end user requests reduced to short SQL queries with minimum “joins”, allowing the database to best optimize execution plans

Why think about massive user scalability?

PLM should be broadly used, including design, manufacturing, quality and sales employees, as well as suppliers, partners and customers

End-user acceptance depends on reasonable performance

1,000,000 Named Users250,000 Concurrent Users

25,000,000 Part Records

“Average response times were excellent”
