Arena: The Proven Oracle Agile PLM Replacement

Avoid the Risk of an Outdated Solution and Migrate to the Cloud

Oracle Agile PLM customers are at a crossroads. Oracle’s decision to end Premier support for Agile PLM means that Oracle will no longer provide updates, support, or security patches for the software after 2027. Agile PLM customers must decide whether to stay with an unsupported on-premises solution or switch to a new product lifecycle management (PLM) system.

When Agile PLM was introduced almost 30 years ago, it was a groundbreaking on-premises solution. Now that Oracle has decided to move away from Agile PLM, customers need to determine the best way to address their new product development and introduction needs.

The Next Logical Step for Agile PLM Customers

As more Oracle Agile PLM customers switch to Arena by PTC, the shift from client-server software to Arena’s cloud-native PLM and QMS solutions is clear. Arena’s easy-to-configure and deploy application extends the out-of-the-box model to the Cloud. Having successfully migrated hundreds of Oracle Agile customers, Arena provides a proven, low-risk approach to solve your next-generation product launch needs.
