API Integration Basics in Aras Innovator PLM

In order to provide required cross-functional and multi-disciplinary process synchronization and data management, PLM systems must integrate with other systems, including enterprise systems and authoring tools, such as CAD. This is achieved by means of application programming interfaces (APIs).  This presentation provides a high level overview of Aras Innovator's integration framework.
