A better way to manage outsourced design or manufacturing

Arena PLM provides a centralized environment for managing product data, making it easy for OEMs, suppliers and outsourced partners to collaborate in real time around a single set of information—regardless of geographic location or IT infrastructure.

Companies that need a secure way to share continually changing product data with contract manufacturers and remote team members find this solution invaluable.

Arena PLM is instantly deployed with zero IT investment, and its cost-effective subscription model makes the system affordable for organizations of any size. The result: Arena PLM is a low-risk solution that offers the fastest time to benefit of any tool on the market.

Arena PLM is the system of record for your product data. It manages the information that previously had to be tracked in spreadsheets and single-user tools, while also providing visibility into the specialized types of product data that are authored and stored in other applications your company uses (such as ERP, MCAD and EDA). Arena PLM also integrates with those tools to keep data in the various systems synchronized throughout the product lifecycle.

This enables Arena PLM to provide a complete view of your products, an imperative for any company facing time-to-market or cost pressures. Only with this view can you make informed decisions early in development, when 70% of your products costs are determined and critical planning choices can be the difference between hitting your dates and missing them.

Any organization can use Arena PLM, regardless of its IT infrastructure. You—as well as your suppliers, remote team members and outsourced partners—need just an Internet connection and a web browser to access the system. That means that everyone across the extended product team has a real-time view of the same information. And with no hardware or software to install and no costly IT resources or implementation services needed, Arena PLM is instantly deployed, easily upgraded and quick to offer a return on investment—all at a low total cost of ownership.
