    Aras Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries

    Aras, a leading provider of digital thread solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM) and engineering AI, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries1. Aras believes a fundamental shift is underway in the PLM market. Manufacturers are increasingly challenged to manage complex products, rapidly evolving requirements, and information distributed across multiple systems and disciplines. As a result, companies are looking beyond systems of record toward platforms that connect product information, enable lifecycle intelligence, and support the next generation of engineering AI.

    OpenBOM Included in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries

    We are proud to share that OpenBOM has been included in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries. For a company built on the idea that product data should be connected, open, and usable from the first day, this is a meaningful milestone. We believe it reflects something larger than any single vendor. The PLM market is changing, and the companies driving that change are no longer only the largest manufacturers running multi-year enterprise deployments.

  • Unlocking 3D Engineering Data Across the Digital Thread: When to Build, When to Buy, and How AI Changes the Equation

    3D engineering data is no longer confined to engineering. It now supports manufacturing, service, supply chain collaboration, digital twins, and emerging AI-driven initiatives. Yet many organizations struggle with a critical question: Should they build custom solutions to unlock and leverage engineering data, buy commercial tools, or combine both approaches? Join industry experts as they explore the growing demand for 3D engineering data across the digital thread and reveal how leading manufacturers are approaching the build-versus-buy decision. The webinar will examine the technical and business challenges of making engineering data accessible across the enterprise, the rise of hybrid build-and-buy strategies, the factors driving organizations to rethink traditional software decisions, and disruptive role of AI.
