Step by Step Comprehensive guide

Why Low Code?

Even if you’ve never heard of the low code approach to PLM application development before, get ready, because you soon will!

This streamlined approach involves rapid design and development with minimal amounts of coding.

There’s not really any single definition of low code development because it’s more of a mindset. But, make no mistake, low code innovators are coming and will increasingly disrupt all kinds of different industries.

Build it with Aras

One of these low-code innovators is Aras. And, coincidentally, their low-code platform is called ‘Aras Innovator’.

If you saw the recent Aras marketing campaign around ‘Build It In Aras’, you will also know that many of the world’s most forward thinking companies are choosing Aras Innovator to quickly build highly differentiated and sophisticated PLM capabilities that deliver competitive advantage.

And in the case of Aras, getting started is pretty easy.

The Aras software can be downloaded & licensed for free (companies may choose to become subscribers later to access additional benefits once they’ve proved the value)

You can set-up an Azure cloud server to host the Aras software for less than $200/month.

You can even use the free Express version of MS SQL to start running a ‘Proof of Concept’ or build a prototype.

Aras KickStart

But to get moving fast, you might also need some expert help.

This is where our Aras KickStart service comes in.

Our Aras KickStart program helps you;

Set-up your first environment (in the cloud or on prem)
Set-up the open version of the Aras software (which doesn’t cost a penny and is how companies like General Motors & Airbus got started… so the story goes!)
Set-up MS SQL (we can even show you how to use the free version of SQL Express)
Show you how to build the standard Aras solutions into your project.
Help you build you first Aras ‘App’ using the Aras low-code platform and modelling engine so you can start to tackle some real-world problems really fast and thereby learn on the job!
