Carestream Health Selects Aras as Enterprise PLM Backbone for Product Level Information

By DE Editors

Aras has announced that Carestream Health, Inc., a provider of medical and dental imaging systems, molecular imaging systems, and non-destructive testing products, has selected the Aras Innovator suite as its enterprise PLM backbone for product level Information. 

Carestream Health will deploy the Aras enterprise PLM software in a series of phases, providing a product level information backbone for global product commercialization processes and supplier collaboration worldwide. Aras will be rolled out in support of global product development over time to more than 3,000 global users and supporting suppliers in the U.S., Canada, China, Israel, and France.

“We wanted a single enterprise PLM backbone for engineering, quality and regulatory compliance, tightly integrated with SAP,” says David Sherburne, leader of Global R&D Effectiveness and champion for this initiative at Carestream Health. “Our legacy platform was built a long time ago and we knew we didn’t have the functionality required for the future; it was time to carefully look at our options. We required a rapidly deployable solution coupled with a sustainable cost model. When compared to other PLM suppliers, Aras offered a solution unique to the industry.”

Aras Innovator is a PLM solution based on an enterprise open source business model and powered by SOA technology.
