It’s that time of year again! No, I don’t mean The Final Four. It’s time to get ready for ACE! ACE, the Aras Community Event, is April 15-18—this year in Phoenix, Arizona.
Collaboration is key to successful business transformation and ACE is the best place to begin or advance your journey. At ACE you’ll discover how organizations like yours are solving today’s most challenging issues as they digitally transform their businesses.
LEARN FROM INDUSTRY LEADERS
Bringing together the best and brightest across industries including: automotive, aerospace, defense, and medical devices, ACE is hottest event in PLM. But, you don’t have to take my word for it, just take a look at the great lineup of keynote presentations:
- Microsoft’s Director of Enterprise PLM, Boris Cononetz and Erika Klein, Director of Cloud Hardware Engineering, will explore how they have used the Aras Platform to make big and impactful transformations across people, processes, and tools in order to quickly scale to meet the demands of their rapidly growing cloud and devices businesses.
- Eli Tuber, Engineering IT Process Manager at Carestream Health, will be examining how Aras Innovator’s document change management solution, coupled with Minerva’s Medical Device PLM solution, are employed in standardizing project documentation and Design History File deliverables—a crucial task in a medical device environment.
- Andersen Windows Engineering Change Services Manager, Mike Bower, and Sherilyn Stalker, Andersen’s PLM Process Leader/Analyst, will describe the benefits they were able to realize by fully exploiting Aras Innovator’s Office Connector to ensure accuracy and trust in Anderson’s product specification through automation.
- General Motors will also be on hand to share details of the journey they embarked on in 2016 to replace their “homegrown” Change Management System with Aras Innovator and the improvements in capabilities and workflow they’ve achieved as a result.
Of course, you’ll hear from Aras’ CEO, Peter Schroer and Senior V.P of Product Management, John Sperling, who will be sharing the latest developments in our Digital Industrial Platform the roadmap for the exciting things coming soon. And, mark your calendar for the ever-popular “Aras In the Round” a completely open and unscripted session, where we’ll surround our CEO, Peter Schroer, and CTO, Rob McAveney, with you: our customers, analysts and partners. Bring along any feedback and questions you have (no topics are off-limits) and take your turn at the microphone.
