Aras Announces Minerva Merger for Best-in-Class PLM Functionality in Medical Devices and High-Tech Electronics

“We are excited to welcome the Minerva team to the Aras family, and to gain industry-specific applications for medical devices and electronics,” said Roque Martin, CEO of Aras. “As an integral part of our partner network for more than a decade, we believe that merging them into our business makes strategic sense and that together we are better able to solve the most complex digitalization challenges our customers face in engineering, manufacturing, and the supply chain.”

Increasing product complexity and competition, combined with frequent changes in supply chains and regulatory requirements, are driving today’s digital transformation initiatives. The ability to digitalize and continuously adapt is critical in helping global enterprises achieve faster time to market, maintain compliance, and deliver high-quality products. Minerva’s business-ready applications, built on the Aras platform, are specifically designed to achieve this powerful agility.

Using Aras’ platform, Minerva has built comprehensive PLM solutions for FDA compliance and high-tech electronics contract manufacturing workflows,” said Peter Bilello, President & CEO of CIMdata. “These well-defined industry applications empower companies to deploy quickly, adapt easily, and scale rapidly.”
