Aras Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries
Aras believes recognition reflects a broader shift in PLM toward the digital thread and governed engineering AI
Aras, a leading provider of digital thread solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM) and engineering AI, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries.
Aras believes a fundamental shift is underway in the PLM market. Manufacturers are increasingly challenged to manage complex products, rapidly evolving requirements, and information distributed across multiple systems and disciplines. As a result, companies are looking beyond systems of record toward platforms that connect product information, enable lifecycle intelligence, and support the next generation of engineering AI.
According to Gartner, "The product life cycle management (PLM) market is evolving from traditional systems that primarily manage product data with limited, extendable capabilities into platforms that actively drive decisions and business outcomes."
