As products get more personalized, organizations often find it hard to keep engineering, sales, and operations on the same page. The growing complexity often outstrips the structures needed to handle it. Quick digital fixes can expose deeper issues like fragmented knowledge and unclear ownership. Manual processes might hide the gaps, but they don’t fix them. Join Thomas Kaufmann from Deloitte Consulting as he shares insights from a MedTech transformation focused on product configuration. While sales saw significant improvements, the full potential of an integrated lifecycle was hindered by limited collaboration across domains. The key takeaway? ➡️ To tackle customization challenges, companies need Configuration Lifecycle Management to link digital engineering with commercial efforts for lasting growth.

The rise in competition, shifting customer preferences, and a fast-evolving technological environment are compelling manufacturers to innovate and adapt more quickly than ever before. On top of these challenges lies a significant workforce shortage, driven by: ➡️ The retirement of experienced employees. ➡️ The increasing difficulty in sourcing skilled labor. ➡️ An over-reliance on document-based manufacturing processes. This blog post discusses how implementing a Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) approach helps manufacturers retain and document the essential product knowledge and expertise of their veteran employees.

Mass customization has made complexity structural. Products are highly configurable and globally sourced, yet configuration logic often remains fragmented across PLM, ERP, and service systems. Many companies know what could be built, but lack a trusted, end-to-end view of what is actually inside a specific product instance. When disruption hits, that gap leads to manual analysis, delays, and unnecessary cost. At the 2026 CLM Summit, Rüdiger Stern, Managing Director at Accenture Industry X, will explain how a Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) approach establishes a true digital configuration thread across design, manufacturing, service, and return, resulting in: ✔ Confident build decisions under constraints ✔ Greater transparency and resilience ✔ Stronger support for circular economy initiatives Join us at the CLM Summit and be part of the conversation!

Customization is no longer a differentiator – it is the baseline. Yet many companies still manage product knowledge across silos: spreadsheets, legacy systems, documents, and local ��truths.” The result is predictable: version drift, inconsistent metadata, rework, and slow handovers from engineering to sales and operations. Join the 2026 CLM Summit to watch this keynote from Dr. Wilhelm Bielert, CDO & SVP at Premier Tech, in which he will offer a bird’s-eye view on why Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) has become a strategic capability. Wil will highlight how data fidelity, traceability, and governance across configuration, product, and process threads enable advanced AI, including agent-based support in manufacturing and operations.
