AGCO SAS France to Use Aras Innovator

aras-logoANDOVER, MA and MUNICH, Germany, Sep 29, 2015 – Aras, the next leader in enterprise product lifecycle management (PLM) software, announced that AGCO SASFrance, a part of AGCO Corporation, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment sold in over 140 countries which include the global brands Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra and GSI, has deployed Aras Innovator to consolidate product engineering systems and processes. Aras Innovator will integrate with, and complement, the existing AGCO corporate engineering PDM system.

Minerva, a certified Aras partner working closely with ACGOFrance, has helped bring deep Aras technical expertise and drive improvements in several of the company’s critical engineering business process automation projects. AGCO SAS France initially leveraged Aras to consolidate and replace legacy product engineering systems and introduced CMII change management. Later, AGCO was successful in extending Aras to cover a wide range of complicated engineering business process requirements for product development tracking, controls and dashboards due to the high level of flexibility and extendibility of the Aras platform.

Recently, the Aras subscription, which includes upgrade services, enabled AGCO SAS France to update seamlessly from ArasInnovator Version 9 to Version 11 while maintaining solution customizations. As a result of the unique Aras subscription model,AGCO SAS can predict their Aras PLM costs for many years.

“AGCO SAS has demonstrated the value of flexibility and ease-of-use in a very complex engineering environment with Aras,” said Peter Schroer, CEO of Aras. “More and more global companies like AGCO are taking advantage of the ability to customize Arasfor their unique business processes while achieving guaranteed upgradability with a consistent cost structure.”
