ARAS - Open Source PLM Review

 * Project: All
 * Requested by: Mike Apostol
 * Date Requested: 2011-12-15
 * Need:
 * We're exploring using ARAS and a few other open source options as a CAD data PLM system for storing all CAD data online. It could allow some interesting collaboration as you'll have check-in / check-out ability and much greater visibility on the available models. Does anyone have any experience using this software at work?
 * Task:
 * Please provide your input at the PLM page on how well you think it could be implemented into the OSE project.
