Review

ARAS - Open Source PLM Review

• Project: All
• Requested by: Mike Apostol
• Date Requested: 2011-12-15
• Need:
  • We're exploring using ARAS as a CAD data PLM system for storing all CAD data online. It could allow some interesting collaboration as you'll have check-in / check-out ability and much greater visibility on the available models. Does anyone have any experience using this software at work?

  • Please provide your input at the ARAS PLM page on how well you think it could be implemented into the OSE project.
