ANDOVER, Mass., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aras, a provider of the most powerful low-code platform with applications to design, build and operate complex products, today announced that it has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Product Lifecycle Management For Discrete Manufacturers, Q1 2023 evaluation. Forrester noted that "Aras appeals to manufacturers with a strong interest in exploiting a low-code platform for their own specific approach to managing the digital thread, from as-designed to as-manufactured and as-maintained."

Aras was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its Forrester Wave evaluation for product lifecycle management (PLM). In this evaluation, Aras' top scores included the following evaluation criteria:

• Compliance, sustainability, and green PLM support: this criterion considers how a vendor's solution helps clients comply with sustainability objectives managing the entire lifecycle of products, assets and components from collaborative sourcing and design to disposal of hazardous elements and reuse or reclamation on other elements.
• Digital thread: how does a vendor's solution ahere to open standards and support the digital thread from 'as-designed', to 'as-manufactured', to 'as-maintained'? How does the solution support track and trace?
• Variants: this criteria considers how a vendors solution enables rapid release of new product variants.
• Extended bill of material (BOM): how does a vendor's solution help manage data from all relevant disciplines (mechanical, electrical, electronic, embedded software) in a single BOM?
• Software bill: this criterion considers how a vendor's solution supports transparency of software components in embedded software.
