As we get ready to celebrate Independence Day in the U.S., we realized it's a perfect time to remind you to declare you independence and be different with your PLM choices.

Whether it's the technology, the way you buy your PLM or the kinds of people you do business with, you’ve got options and you’re in control. And we encourage you not to settle for anything less than a fair solution that addresses your challenges and works in your business.

At Aras, we pride ourselves with Being Different and we invite you learn more about what that means for you.

DIFFERENT IS… Realizing each company has unique and competitive data and processes. And developing software that adapts to fit your business, rather than expecting your business to change to fit the software.

DIFFERENT IS… Accepting that healthy companies change and they should. In fact, your company should change frequently to grow, compete and improve. Technology should support real-time change and easy customization that anyone can use.

DIFFERENT IS… Expecting to try before you buy, and insisting that your buying decisions are never, ever made based on the word of a software salesman.

DIFFERENT IS… Giving your company control over its own destiny. This means you are never locked in to proprietary solutions, restrictive licensing or services.

DIFFERENT IS… Allowing your company to own its data, with the freedom to access, share and extract it whenever you want, however you need.

DIFFERENT IS… Never accepting the status quo.
