Case Study: Aras achieves enterprise-wide PLM process control with AMC Bridge

Aras delivers enterprise PLM with AMC Bridge in a tight timeline

The customer, Aras Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise open source PLM software, needed to extend the capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM beyond engineering to provide a full-featured, enterprise-level PLM solution for their entire company and supply chain. The challenge was to create a secure, out-of-the-box solution that was easy to install and use without requiring complex programming or changes to the existing hardware infrastructure. Vendor AMC Bridge was retained for this development and quality assurance project.

AMC Bridge implemented a solution consisting of a customized version of Aras Innovator and a client-side extension for SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM. This provided packaged functionality with a familiar interface and a hierarchical security model to meet strict confidentiality requirements. The project was completed by AMC Bridge well within the scheduled time and budget, with the quality of work exceeding client expectations. The development process was highly collaborative, utilizing an iterative approach with regular deliverables and weekly conference calls to ensure timely resolution of issues.
