Overall Satisfaction with Arena

Arena is being used by Marketing, Sales, Support, S/W, Engineering, Manufacturing. We integrated all releases and documentation, across all departments. We can access the information remotely also with our EMS (Outsourcing Manufacturing).
.

Pros

  • Bill of Material, with all specs attached
  • Release process (CCB, ECO process)
  • Project mapping and Gating process
  • Tracking by crossing any information in the database
  • Ease of implementation, training and using the product

Cons

  • More ERP capabilities, so we could use 100%, for prototyping Manufacturing without using external ERP system
  • TTM- 30-50% faster
  • NPI - 80% faster
  • Documentation safe- 50% faster
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Ease of use for users
Implementation Process
The implementation process was very easy and straight forward. The implementation specialist Mike Sullivan

made the process so easy, he could answer our question on the spot. 80% of the job, was changing the bad habits within our company.
The Arena Implementation process was much more easy than the other solutions.
Several solution only addressed 60% of the features Arena had.

I believe it’s suitable for all scenarios
