ScaleB — Solution designed with predefined industry accelerators: Aerospace, Automotive and IE
Built on Aras Innovator, ScaleB is designed for aerospace suppliers, automotive suppliers and industrial equipment manufacturers, with compliance for AS9100D, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 built in. The session covered how predefined industry accelerators cut cost by around 50% and bring go-live under two months, and introduced Eleganza Web 3.0, our UI overlay for faster adoption across teams.

Event Highlights




What we talked about
- ScaleB, our PLM for SMBs — start small and scale fast on Aras, with predefined templates for aerospace suppliers, automotive suppliers and industrial equipment manufacturers, and standards compliance out of the box.
- Faster implementation with PLM Aras Rabbit — our development studio for deployment packaging, best-practice checks, environment comparison and no-code data loading.
- Data migration at scale — our ETL framework moving 1.5M records per hour and cutting migration timelines by up to 60%, across 25+ completed projects.
- Application Management Services — 24/7 support, under two hours average response, 500+ tickets resolved monthly, with e-learning and UI enhancements to lift adoption.
- Aras upgrades and performance — end-to-end upgrades covering environments, infrastructure, integrations and automation, plus PCS testing to find where performance is actually breaking.
About Aras ACE 2025
ACE — Aras Community Event — is Aras Corporation's annual user conference, bringing customers, partners and the product team together for sessions on platform direction, customer programmes and technical practice. The 2025 edition ran 31 March – 3 April at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, marking Aras' 25th anniversary under the theme "Connected Intelligence: AI, PLM and a Future-ready Digital Thread", with 500 attendees and 35 partner sponsors. SteepGraph joined as a sponsor and presented ScaleB.
What we took away
- AI moved from possibility to product. Aras launched Nova, its AI assistant for Innovator SaaS, and framed agentic and generative AI as central to change management and impact analysis — with governance still the open question.
- InnovatorEdge changes what partners can build. The low-code API management framework democratises data access, which reshapes the build-versus-buy conversation for anyone extending their digital thread.
- Scale is no longer a theoretical concern. CERN's 100-million-part implementation, presented in the keynote, reset what people consider a large Aras deployment.
- The focus is shifting from applications to data. Repeatedly, the message was that data quality and governance — not another module — are what determine whether AI delivers anything.
- Migration complexity is still the barrier. Aras' own recap named migration and alignment with changing business needs as the persistent adoption blockers, which is exactly what brought people to our kiosk.
