DENVER, Colorado, 10 April 2019 – The Institute for Process Excellence (IpX) announced a non-exclusive

digital transformation strategies.
The IpX True North Service Model delivers dynamic and rapid performance improvement to
companies facing significant financial, operational and customer satisfaction challenges. With
industry leading training and a proven set of global best practices, IpX guides and enables
organizations to benchmark, assess, and transform the business challenges that impact them

complex, connected products. The flexible architecture provides teams across the extended
enterprise with access to data, insights, and intelligence from the complete product lifecycle.
Together, Aras and IpX aim to transform businesses by creating a foundation of education,

“IpX has worked and partnered with digital solution providers for the past twenty years. We are
excited about this collaboration with Aras and what it brings to our joint clients. In order to
achieve sustainable and scalable transformation, businesses must invest in functional
workforce development in conjunction with reshaping legacy business processes and systems,”
said Joseph Anderson, President of IpX. “Proactive and continual improvement requires the
organization to address silo competency mindsets, antiquated capabilities and global workforce
dynamics.”
“Collaborating with IpX and providing the Aras community insight into IpX’s educational sector
and unique engagement model will enhance the knowledge, skills, and behavior required to
effectively leverage the Aras Platform and create tangible enterprise change,” said Peter
Schroer, Founder and CEO of Aras. “As this partnership matures, respective customers will
continuously have the support of new services, products, and training opportunities to advance
their Digital Transformation initiatives.”
On April 16th, IpX President, Joseph Anderson, will join Aras CEO, Peter Schroer, for an onstage
Fireside Chat at
