Direct vs. PDM

Aras offers both Direct Connectors and PDM Connectors

Both can co-exist within the same Aras Innovator installation Same CAD Document item with same relationship to Parts

Same Enterprise Change process

Packaged PDM Connectors include: SolidWorks EPDM

Autodesk Vault

ALM Connectors are functionally equivalent to PDM Connectors, and are the best approach for Software / Firmware

PLM Connectors

PLM Connector functionality spans multiple use cases: Other PLM system used as a CAD PDM

Other PLM system and Aras used in different departments or divisions concurrently, and need to share data

Other PLM system is legacy, being phased out gradually as Aras replaces it

Packaged offerings exist for Teamcenter, Enovia, SmartTeam, and Windchill

These offerings are based on partner SOA frameworks Configurable data and process mapping

Can be extended to work with other PLMs and legacy systems
