The days of being stuck on an outdated PLM system are over. All too often we hear about legacy PLM systems that have been highly customized rendering them too expensive and complicated to upgrade. With an Aras Subscription PLM upgrade services are included in your annual fee regardless of the level of customizations.
Unlike legacy PLM systems that effectively require a re-implementation and data migration to upgrade, Aras is upgraded "in place" in a fraction of the time and effort because no recoding or data migration are necessary. This enables us to upgrade your database in a timely manner, with most of the time spent on validation testing.
And while this concept of upgrades including customizations may be new to you, let us reassure you it is tried and true. The United States Army has undergone ten major Aras version upgrades since 2000 and has never lost any previous customization or integration.
A recent CIMdata commentary report titled, Aras Innovator: Redefining Customization & Upgrades states, "The [Aras] solution's ability to be upgraded without causing time and money to be spent on re-implementing customizations is impressive, and those looking for a highly customizable PLM solution should take note...the solution's elegance is in its simplicity and in the fact that it is possible to upgrade without a penalty for customization. The follow-on impacts are significant, and for many of Aras' customers there is a lot more value to come."
