Highlighted Demo - Better Understand your PLM Data with Graph Navigation
February 12, 2019

Graph Navigation is a platform service introduced in Aras Innovator 11.0 SP15 that allows users to quickly visualize and navigate data structures via a node-edge graph. Since Graph Navigation is a service of the Aras Innovator platform and not a feature of a specific application, users can explore data across all applications. Graph views also obey the permissions and access controls defined for your item data.

How OpenText Documentum Extends the Digital Thread Beyond PLM
April 6, 2026

Manufacturers depend on PLM as the system of record for released product information, but many downstream teams do not work in PLM.
