Minerva, Aras Certified Gold Partner in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced that Mycronic, a Swedish high-tech company that has been active in the electronics industry for more than 40 years, has selected Aras Innovator® as the successor to ENOVIA SmarTeam for standardizing the management of product data, design and development processes.
Key drivers in Mycronic’s selection were speed of implementation, breadth of functionality and cost effectiveness. “Aras provided more functionality at less cost than the other leading PLM systems we evaluated,” explained Britta-Karin Spåls, CIO at Mycronic. “We were able to download, get training and through our organization prove to ourselves that the Aras solution had the flexibility we require. We felt comfortable with the effort required for making changes and the functionality out of the box”, said Britta-Karin Spåls.
Mycronic, like many of other companies have started to question product capabilities and the large cost from traditional PLM players. “It is interesting to see the change in the market as more and more companies become smarter buyers. A big brand, many customer logos and fancy slides is no longer enough” explained Leon Lauritsen, VP at Minerva, Aras Certified Gold Partner working with Mycronic.
Mycronic will replace their current SmarTeam implementation with Aras in the first phase and at the same time enhance several capabilities. Upon completing phase one, Mycronic will look into extending their Aras implementation with many of the other capabilities offered in the suite. Implementation in the next phase will be a step by step approach starting with integration of electronic drawings and document management.
