Learn about Aras. International media & analyst coverage and press releases chronicle customer success, new Aras enterprise open source PLM software solutions, and business results achieved.
Carestream Health, a medical and dental imaging, molecular imaging and non-destructive testing product specialist, has selected Aras Innovator suite to replace an “outdated and highly customized implementation of Dassault’s Enovia MatrixOne and a collection of third party and internal legacy systems.” Aras, if you’re unfamiliar with the name, is one of the first vendors to base their business on an open source model in the PLM field.
“The PLM solution we chose had to adapt to our needs and processes, not the other way around. If it wasn’t flexible, it wasn’t going to work for us,” said Dave Rajkumar, IT Applications Manager at PCC Structurals. “We looked at SmarTeam, Oracle Agile and other PLM systems, but believe that Aras would be easier to customize and integrate to our existing applications. Aras meets our business needs. The Aras PLM software suite is extremely flexible, so we can easily tailor it to our specifications, and Aras scales up really well.”
