Enterprise open source delivers substantial corporate advantages including:

Removes the up-front capital expense requirement for licenses

Enables unlimited users at a predictable, fixed cost

Eliminates complicated licensing schemes

Now your company can solve strategic business initiatives without the considerable expense and corporate risk involved with conventional enterprise software licenses.

No more module costs, server fees, or user licenses to buy. With Aras your company achieves Freedom from Licensing.

The open approach removes the risks inherent with conventional enterprise systems. Your company can prove out Aras before you make a substantial financial commitment.

As opposed to the other major PLM and ERP systems providers that force you to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions before you know if the software will work for your business, the open format provides you with the ability to validate that the Aras solution will meet your requirements before you commit.

With Aras your company can get with the most advanced solutions available and the enterprise open structure eliminate the capital expense risk to ensure success.

The Aras solutions use the OSI Certified Microsoft Public License [Ms-PL].

There is no requirement to contribute back modifications so companies can use and customize the Aras solutions without any issues.

Collaboration in the corporate community is voluntary and your company can participate periodically based on business interest.

With Aras your company can take advantage of innovative solutions and improvements from global leaders including Motorola, Lockheed Martin, and Delphi.
