Aras has announced a strategic partnership with Minerva Group to launch Minerva PLM, powered by Aras, a PLM software solution based on the Aras Innovator platform with industry best practice features that will serve small- to medium-sized manufacturers.
The Aras platform links data and processes throughout the entire lifecycle of a product, giving manufactures a holistic view and enabling them to get more advanced products into the market at a faster pace.
Minerva PLM, powered by Aras, combines the flexible, model-based technology inside the Aras Innovator platform with industry-specific features that have been developed through Minerva’s 25 years of enterprise software implementation experience.
“We have seen great results working with Minerva to fit Aras Innovator to the requirements of individual customers and adding features that speak to the best practices they have developed for a variety of organizations from different markets,” says Peter Schroer, founder and CEO of Aras.
“We have experienced high growth margins and success alongside Aras,” says Asger Thierry, founder and CEO of Minerva Group. “The natural next step was to implement what we believe to be industry best practice features into Aras Innovator, and enable Minerva Group and Aras to jointly grow to the next level.”
Minerva PLM, powered by Aras, will be available for worldwide release in spring 2020.
