Our Universal PLM Adapter provides integration capabilities between PLM/PDM solutions and Microsoft Dynamics AX/GP/NAV. The Universal PLM Adapter can be implemented quickly with no programming required. It is highly configurable and has advanced functionality such as scripting capabilities using VB.NET and e-mail activity notifications. The product comes with a preconfigured template for integration with several of the leading PLM/PDM solutions, but can be configured to work with any PLM/PDM solution that can publish XML or tab-delimited format data.

Our next release of the Universal PLM Adapter, expected to be generally available in calendar Q4, will provide the necessary capabilities for a customer to use our product to define and implement an integration for other ERP solutions with little or no programming.

PLM for Dynamics GP is a new integration product developed for Aras Innovator that will provide the same features as our Universal PLM Adapter, but will also integrate the user experience of Dynamics GP and Aras Innovator. Aras Innovator is a .NET based open source solution.
