Greetings, and welcome to the Aras Technology blog.  Here is where you’ll find tips, tricks, musings and evangelism about the Aras Innovator enterprise application framework and technology – Innovator for short.  We’ll strive to make the posts here frequent and informative, but in bite-size chunks so you don’t get bogged down for hours reading them.  However, if you’re anything like us you’ll probably end up taking the new info and spending hours figuring out how to apply it to another problem.  If you come up with something cool, we’d love to hear about it.

Who are we?  Well, we’re the folks that define, develop, deploy and support Innovator.  No marketing pukes or salespeople allowed – just the guys and gals that dig in deep on the technology.  You’ll see postings from the product team, the support team and even from our Founder & President (who still gets into the code).  A brief profile of each poster will be available, so you can get an idea of who’s who.

We can’t set all the themes or define the tone of this blog in the first post, but we’d like to reflect one central theme defining our company these days: openness.  We will do our best to provide all the info we have – good or bad.  In return, we’d like your honest opinions.  If you think we’re wrong, go ahead and tell us (seriously, we’re not fragile).  The goal here is to share what Innovator is and isn’t capable of, then start knocking off the “isn’ts” one by one.
