Vendor comparison
Aras Community Network: There's a big imbalance in the traditional PLM vendor / customer relationship. It goes like this: you, the buyer, pay a huge amount of money up-front and in return your PLM implementation takes months or years to complete; your data - your IP - is locked down, locked in and out of your control; and your company is at the mercy of the PLM vendor for new features and capabilities.
Sound familiar? Add the constant pressure to buy more PLM licenses and you've got a contentious relationship between PLM buyer and PLM vendor. We knew there had to be a better way and we found it in the enterprise open source model.
Aras takes a very different approach to PLM. We combined enterprise open source solutions with advanced model-based SOA technology to deliver a highly scalable, flexible and secure PLM solution suite. Our extensive out-of-the-box functionality and modern Web architecture enable you to deploy quickly and continuously enhance your PLM environment in a fraction of the time required by conventional enterprise PLM / PDM systems and at a Total Cost of Ownership far below that of any leading competitor.
And there are no PLM software licenses to buy - ever. No named license schemas that charge for each user to access each module. No big, up-front PLM license expense. No spending a fortune on licenses for the thousands of people that only log on periodically. We give you complete access for unlimited users with no PLM license costs.
