Aras Innovator: PLM on a Shoestring

摘要

Aras Corporation and its PLM system, Innovator, have received considerable attention since announcing its business and licensing model change to open source. As expected, this new approach has spawned both skepticism and praise from users, competitors, and the press.rnAt Phoenix International Holdings, which specializes in the design, manufacture, and operation of deepwater (up to 6000 meter operating depth) remotely operated vehicles (ROV), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), and other subsea systems, we implemented the open source Innovator application in house with no outside support.
