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Avoid the Risk of an Outdated Solution and Migrate to the Cloud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. With the end of Premiere Support looming, Agile customers must decide whether to stay with an unsupported on-premises solution or switch to a new product lifecycle management (PLM) system.

Agile has led the PLM market for years. When it was first introduced, it was a groundbreaking solution for high-tech product companies and set the standard for out-of-the-box PLM. Today, an unsupported Agile PLM system could present big challenges for its customers … or unlock new opportunities to upgrade to a modern solution.

The Next Logical Step for Agile PLM Customers

As more Agile PLM customers migrate to Arena PLM, today’s cloud PLM market leader, it’s clear that Agile customers should switch to Arena. Having successfully migrated hundreds of customers, transitioning to Arena is minimally disruptive.

Arena’s Innovation Timeline

The Arena Cloud-Native Advantage

Arena’s cloud-native product development solutions have fueled success for over 1,400 customers in the life sciences, aerospace, and high-tech electronics industries. Cloud-native solutions have many benefits over client-server solutions.

Cloud-native solutions provide maximum flexibility and scalability to accommodate evolving needs. They also facilitate the delivery of frequent software enhancements without downtime or disruption to the business. In addition, with cloud-native solutions, you can securely collaborate anytime and anywhere, making it easy to work with remote teams and global supply chain partners.

Unlike client-server applications, cloud-native (multi-tenant) solutions eliminate costly IT resources and upfront expenses for hardware, VPNs, and other infrastructure. Agile PLM customers migrating to the cloud-native solution from Arena experience fast deployment and accelerated return on investment (ROI).
