aras-logoANDOVER, MA and TOKYO, Japan, Oct 26, 2016 – Aras, the next leader in enterprise product lifecycle management (PLM) software, announced that Fujifilm’s Medical Systems Business Division, a global provider of diagnostic imaging and information systems for healthcare facilities, has selected Aras Innovator as the Quality Management system platform for product realization of the company’s medical products and equipment across global design, production and service.

Working with Hitachi Systems, an Aras Certified Partner for implementation, Fujifilm has planned a phased deployment of Aras with the Minerva Medical Device PLM solution to support the Quality Management System, assure regulatory compliance and improve operational efficiency. The solution is planned to roll out at multiple locations.
