Secure Product Development at Mission Speed
Government contractors and defense manufacturers must innovate fast while meeting strict security, export control, and quality management requirements. Disconnected tools slow development, increase compliance risk, and hinder collaboration across engineering, quality, operations, and the supply chain.
Teams need a modern, secure product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that supports velocity without compromising quality or control.
Interested in learning how Arena PLM software can transform your product development processes?
Cloud-native PLM brings all your critical product information—parts, assemblies, documents, requirements, quality processes, and change history—together in a single, secure, always accessible system. With a single source of truth, your teams stay aligned and confident at every stage of product development.
Compared to on-premises or hosted solutions, cloud-native PLM empowers product teams to move faster and with less risk. Arena’s cloud approach delivers rapid deployment and a quick path to value, eliminates IT maintenance headaches, keeps your teams on the latest version with seamless updates, and enables secure, real-time collaboration across your global supply chain.
Arena PLM for AWS GovCloud provides government contractors a secure system of record to execute complex programs. By unifying product information, teams, and quality processes, Arena helps you accelerate innovation while enforcing controlled, compliant workflows.

Arena’s cloud-native connection with Onshape Government CAD creates a continuous digital product thread across CAD, PDM, and PLM workflows. Shared design information, synchronized BOMs, and real-time change tracking keep engineering, quality, and operations teams aligned from design through production. The result is less friction, fewer errors, and faster product launches.
Arena’s built‑in Analytics platform provides visibility into change cycles, projects, supplier performance, and process execution—helping teams surface issues early, make informed decisions, and maintain control across complex, regulated programs.
Over 1,500 companies rely on Arena to innovate with control and confidence. By connecting product development and quality processes on AWS GovCloud, Arena supports secure execution and compliance across the full lifecycle.
