SteepGraph at Aras Connect Europe 2025

• Aras Rabbit — our AI-powered studio for first-time-right delivery, spanning Rabbit Implementation Studio and its UX Magic accelerator, with the PLM Data Model Canvas that turns any Aras schema into a visual, collaborative design surface.
• Migration to Aras — our ETL Migration Framework with 15+ pre-built extraction adapters, a low-code transformation engine and data validation, cutting migration timelines by up to 40% across 2 billion+ records and 25+ enterprise projects.
• The Aras Integration Framework — low-code connections to ERP, MES, ALM and other PLM systems, built to stay maintainable rather than becoming the next legacy.
• User adoption as an engineering problem — the Rabbit User Experience Pack: self-service reporting, in-context help, mass edit, power search and configurable dashboards to cut clicks and dependency on IT.
• We also joined the Technical Summits at three stops, with rapid-fire sessions on integrated project management in Aras (Birmingham), solution design first-time-right with Rabbit (Frankfurt) and quick wins for user adoption through Rabbit UX Magic (Stockholm).

Aras Connect is Aras Corporation's regional roadshow, bringing subscribers, executives and industry experts together for a main conference day plus an optional half-day Technical Summit of rapid-fire demos and customer examples. The 2025 European tour ran under the theme "Connected Intelligence: AI, PLM, and the Future of Connectivity" across Birmingham, Paris, Frankfurt and Stockholm, part of a global series that drew over 1,500 attendees from 200+ organisations. SteepGraph sponsored all four European stops.

• AI in PLM is being framed as intelligence, not automation. Across every stop the pitch was decision support inside the digital thread rather than replacing tasks — a more useful conversation to have with customers than last year's.
• InnovatorEdge is where the extensibility conversation now starts. The low-code API framework came up in every city, and it changes how we advise clients on extending the digital thread versus building bespoke.
• Regulatory pressure is now a PLM requirement in Europe. Stockholm's sessions on EU sustainability and compliance made clear that regulatory management is moving into scope for programmes that never considered it.
• Scale stories are doing the persuading. CERN in Paris, GRAMMER in Frankfurt, Tokamak Energy in Birmingham — customers are convinced by peers running hard implementations, not by roadmaps.
• The Technical Summit format works. Splitting a technical half-day off the main conference filled rooms with practitioners who wanted depth, which is exactly the audience our Rabbit sessions were built for.
