Documents Are Important Too

Microsoft Office is a key set of tools used during all stages of the product lifecycle for a myriad purposes. Many documents contain critical information which needs to be shared and forms part of the product record.

However, typically these documents are disconnected from the product record, get lost in shared folders and accidentally deleted from hard drives. Learn more about PLM connectors with Aras.

What we loved about Aras from the very beginning is that we were able to see functionalities tuned to our needs. I was used to spending days with the consultants talking about functionalities on PowerPoint slides without having a feeling of how the user would actually interact with the system. With Aras, it was totally different and allowed us to have a better sense of what we were actually developing from the very beginning.
