Different...
We ARE different. We don't run our business like our competition - our data model is open, we give the basic software away and offer subscriptions to access the additional applications, upgrades and support.
And it works. The proof? New customers and subscription renewals.
We are so different, in fact, that we will throw our CEO to the wolves. We don't hide behind our Marketing and PR teams. We prefer to "keep it real."
PLM vendors often host "Q&A sessions" with their leadership at their events. They put them in cushy leather chairs up on a stage, away from the crowd, with a host that won't push any hot topic buttons. The questions are curated and the answers are canned. We prefer to host a completely candid and unscripted session called "Aras In The Round." We surround our CEO and Chief Architect with our subscribers, customers, analysts, and partners.
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
This is another unique aspect of Aras. We directly engage with our community for questions and feedback - good or bad. The good is great. The bad makes us better!
We hope that you will come to ACE 2017 in Nashville, TN to be part of our event and join us for In The Round.
In the meantime, check out this In The Round playlist from ACE 2016:
Thanks for reading.
