Cleantech Innovator uses Aras to Manage Growth
Utilitas is an innovative Brisbane based company that specializes in bioenergy asset development to deliver reliable, affordable, safe and environmentally friendly solutions to farmers, food processors and waste water treatment operators in Australia and New Zealand.
Designing, developing, and delivering solutions that recover energy, water, and nutrients, while eliminating problematic organic waste streams requires world-class capability, a highly experienced team and leading Australian and International partners.
Utilitas addresses engineering challenges while ensuring the viability of the business model to provide a positive outcome for the environment. This presents unique informational requirements for the management of Utilitas that cannot be easily met by software out of the box.
Utilitas recognized ARAS Innovator as more than just a PLM system. It is a development environment that has the capability and flexibility to be easily configured and customized to meet these and other data collection and management challenges. Fiona Waterhouse, Founder and CEO of Utilitas, recognized the need for PLM process in the development of Utilitas's Bioenergy assets, but also needed to capture critical business financials, correspondence and project status to ensure delivery.
“ARAS Innovator is the only software we could find flexible enough to manage our information needs through our development and growth trajectory. The cost model makes a powerful PLM solution accessible from the start and gives us the freedom to customize a solution to our needs, with practical support from Matrix services”.

Investment Protection - Bentley Portfolio Balancing
Portfolio Balancing is a unique and flexible offering to all Bentley customers that enables unparalleled low-risk investment in engineering software.
It works like this - purchase, say 2 seats of MicroStation and 1 seat AutoPipe for $X total cost. Sometime later your needs change and you'd prefer 1 seat MicroStation, 2 x PowerDraft and ProSteel. No problem, just using the web based SELECT server licensing you can change at no additional cost! (assuming original value close to original $X)
NO other software vendor offers Customers such a useful and flexible investment protection!
To discuss in more detail, call or email Barry Soutar on +64 9 623 1223 or Barry.Soutar@matrix.co.nz.
