Aras^® Corporation is the Microsoft enterprise open source software solution provider for companies that want the control and flexibility of open source and have Microsoft skill sets and infrastructure.


The Aras enterprise open source provides unlimited user access to all solutions. Because there is no charge for the enterprise production-ready software, Aras removes the need for up-front capital and eliminates expensive software licensing requirements for users, modules, and servers.



Businesses today understand that competitive advantage can be achieved with the use of enterprise software. However, the obstacles of system complexity and onerous licensing schemes prevent companies from achieving the benefits.


Corporate frustration has reached the breaking point with conventional enterprise software vendors that pitch future visions of simplicity while pushing overpriced legacy systems that are challenging to deploy, difficult to adapt, and complicated to upgrade.


To address the cumbersome, overly complex nature of conventional enterprise system architectures Aras developed the Aras Innovator suite of solutions that deliver significantly easier deployments and upgrades even with extensive solution customization.



The Aras Innovator enterprise open source solutions address strategic business initiatives that require the automation of complicated business processes such as new product introduction [NPI], advanced product quality planning [APQP], and enterprise product lifecycle management [PLM].


Open source delivers the flexibility and control leading companies require today while the standard Microsoft platform aligns with existing IT skill sets and technology infrastructure.


Aras customers attain superior performance and achieve far greater adaptability to compete effectively. The result is unmatched customer value.


Aras is a private company backed by leading institutional investors.
