Aras Partners with Broadway to Accelerate PLM and Digital Transformation in Greater China and Taiwan!

Aras, a global leader in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and digital thread solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Broadway, one of the most established PLM solution providers in Greater China. The collaboration aims to drive the adoption of Aras Innovator across China and Taiwan by combining Aras’ open and adaptable platform with Broadway’s deep local expertise and two decades of experience in serving manufacturers throughout the region.

Under this partnership, Broadway will become Aras’ regional partner, providing localized implementation, subscription services, and technical support to help enterprises advance their digital transformation journey. Leveraging its strong industry relationships and proven track record, Broadway will integrate Aras’ latest innovations, including the OpenPLM 2.0 framework — a next-generation service model that incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and ecosystem connectivity. This combination of technologies and local insight will empower manufacturers to modernize product development, streamline operations, and enhance cross-functional collaboration across the entire product lifecycle.

Tony KC Ho, Executive President at Broadway, emphasized the strategic importance of the alliance, stating, “As a trusted, in-region resource, Broadway delivers the latest Aras technology together with tailored support. This partnership will expand the open PLM ecosystem and help manufacturers achieve efficiency, integration, and sustainable growth.” His comments underscore the joint commitment to advancing smart manufacturing and enabling local industries to compete globally through digital innovation.

For Aras, this partnership represents a major step forward in strengthening its footprint in the Greater China region. Don Cooper, Vice President of Global Alliances at Aras, remarked, “Partnering with Broadway represents an important milestone in our commitment to the Greater China market. Combining our open and adaptable platform with Broadway’s local expertise will enable enterprises to modernize product development with AI-enabled solutions built on a connected digital thread.”

The collaboration comes at a time when the manufacturing landscape in China and Taiwan is rapidly evolving toward smart factories and digital ecosystems. Companies are increasingly prioritizing connected PLM platforms to integrate data, processes, and systems across engineering, production, and service operations. The Aras-Broadway partnership will play a pivotal role in enabling this transformation by providing manufacturers with the tools needed to manage complex product lifecycles, improve decision-making, and accelerate time-to-market.

With this strategic alliance, Aras continues to expand its global network of partners focused on delivering scalable and intelligent PLM solutions. For Broadway, the partnership enhances its ability to offer world-class technology to its clients while supporting the broader shift toward open, AI-driven, and sustainable digital manufacturing. Together, the two companies are set to redefine the future of PLM in Greater China, empowering industries to achieve greater efficiency, innovation, and resilience in an increasingly competitive global market.
