Product lifecycle management player stakes claim as first "comprehensive enterprise PLM solution" based entirely on .NET
Lawrence, MA — August 17, 2005 — The flagship product lifecycle management (PLM) solution from software company Aras Corporation has achieved Microsoft .NET Connected Logo status, making it easier for customers to recognize that Aras is designed to interoperate across platforms, programming languages and applications through the use of XML Web services, the solution provider said this week.
By using the Microsoft .NET Framework, Aras said its Innovator solution benefits from the additional performance and security of the Microsoft .NET technologies. Aras stakes a claim as the first "comprehensive enterprise solution" in the PLM software category based entirely on the Microsoft .NET Framework and XML web services technology.
The solution provider said that Microsoft .NET's ability to connect systems helps companies reduce the cost of integrating internal enterprise systems and communicating with customers, suppliers and outsourced manufacturers.
Aras offers solutions for product development that include program management, product engineering and quality planning. Aras asserts that the solution is easy to manage, integrate and extend due to Aras Innovator's model-based, service-oriented architecture.
By utilizing the Microsoft .NET Framework, Aras said its solution takes advantage of the Microsoft platforms in addition to being entirely based on standard Internet protocols including HTTP/HTTPS, XML and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
"Microsoft .NET has clearly gained significant momentum with our customers, and achieving .NET Connected status provides validation of our alignment," said Peter Schroer, president of Aras.
