Model-Based Service-Oriented Architecture
The unique Aras Model-Based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is designed to be:
- Flexible to meet today's needs and adapt easily as your business evolves
- Scalable to grow with your business
- Easy to upgrade, even if your system is heavily customized, allowing you to benefit from enhancements in new releases
Open Architecture
Openness is critical to the long term success and sustainability of your PLM/PDM system. To enable true interoperability, portability and extensibility we provide an open architecture which features open software, an open data model, open interfaces and use of open Web standards.
Aras is an n-tier, model-based service oriented architecture (SOA) built entirely on open web standards composed of web clients, application servers(s), database(s) and file vaulting servers(s) based on standard Internet protocols including HTTP/HTTPS, XML and SOAP.
Our open approach also leverages Microsoft products: SQL Server, .NET and Windows Server.

Secure
Aras technology has security built-in from the ground up. In fact the Aras security, authentication and data access rights model was defined to meet the needs of our defense industry customers to satisfy ITAR and other military security compliance requirements.
On-Site, in the Cloud, or Hybrid
With a modern, flexible platform you have complete control over your Aras deployment - data center, cloud or hybrid. You can deploy on-site and migrate to a hybrid or full cloud model without losing any solution capabilities, or start in the cloud and move to your data center whenever you want.
Roadmap
Unique among enterprise software providers, Aras publishes our product Roadmap and invites you to comment on it. Not only does this help you plan for future upgrades but it also gives you an opportunity to influence our direction and priorities.
