Saab AB selects Aras PLM and Minerva as Implementation Partner

Aras®, the next leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced that Saab, a global producer of world-leading products, services and solutions from military defense to civil security, selected Aras Innovator® to support the handling of complex product data and business processes related to the Gripen fighter aircraft. Aras will be used to strengthen the information management capabilities for the maintenance aspects of the Gripen, a unique fighter that unites operational performance, high-tech solutions, cost-efficiency, and industrial partnership into one, smart fighter system.

After reviewing the major PLM solutions on the market, the Saab team selected Aras because of the platform flexibility, upgradability and strong capability to integrate with other applications in their existing PLM environment. The open architecture of Aras with an open data model, open interfaces and use of open Web standards was important in order to simplify integrations to existing systems in place at Saab.

“Aras will complement our current PLM-landscape here at Business Area Aeronautics,” said Henrik Pettersson, Head of Product Data Support at Saab. “It will be used alongside other applications to support us in handling our product data in a correct and efficient way.”

The ownership cost of Aras relative to the functionality delivered was an added advantage. “The Aras business model with subscriptions, combined with the open community where users share investments toward the application, makes it especially valuable for us,” added Henrik.
