Configit's New CLM-as-a-Service Revolutionizes Configuration Lifecycle Management for Customers
Configit's Groundbreaking CLM-as-a-Service Launch
Configit, the leading name in Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), has recently revealed its exciting release of Configit Ace® 7 and Quote® 13. This innovative update marks a significant milestone, particularly for businesses that rely on customizable products and solutions. With the aim of facilitating the seamless integration and management of product configurations throughout their lifecycle, Configit is setting a new standard in the industry.
What is Configit Ace® 7?
Configit Ace® 7 is tailored for Software as a Service (SaaS) settings, incorporating advanced functionalities that cater exclusively to SaaS clients. Its standout feature is the introduction of Configit Ace Thread—a secure repository designed to systematically store and retrieve configurations created by users across various platforms. By maintaining a comprehensive record from planning to maintenance, this feature creates a digital thread that enables manufacturers to swiftly pinpoint changes in configurations affected by supply chain disruptions, thus ensuring better service and maintenance.
Another innovative tool included in the update is the Configit Ace Configurator. This product configurator application empowers users to establish a configured product environment in just minutes. Customers only need to point to an already compiled product model and customize the layout and options to create a fully functional configurator. This streamlined approach eliminates the lengthy wait time typically associated with custom builds, making it possible to derive immediate benefits from existing product models.
The Power of Configit Quote® 13
Alongside Configit Ace, the introduction of Configit Quote® 13 enhances the capabilities of users, providing them with effective solutions for generating accurate quotes for complicated, multi-tiered systems. This component works in tandem with CLM-as-a-Service, giving comprehensive support for companies managing product variations and configurations at scale.
Utilizing the robust features of Microsoft Azure, Configit's CLM-as-a-Service creates an accessible shared source of truth for configuration data. This functionality enables users to access critical configuration information at any time and from anywhere, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and responsiveness.
The Innovative Initiative: Configit Lab
Configit is also proud to introduce Configit Lab, an innovation hub established to explore new breakthroughs in the next-generation CLM. Its inaugural focus will be on GenAI—to speed up the creation of complex product models. The tool, known as the Configit Copilot, is set to revolutionize the modeling process by dramatically reducing the time required to design new product models and rules.
Damantha Boteju, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Configit, emphasizes the significance of this advancement, stating, "With CLM-as-a-Service, Configit offers a comprehensive end-to-end solution that empowers customers to connect product configuration information across various stages—from development through to service. We are excited to expand this offering by integrating generative AI capabilities."
Conclusion
As Configit embodies the future of Configuration Lifecycle Management, the launch of Configit Ace® 7 and Quote® 13 aims to help businesses become more productive and responsive to ever-changing consumer demands. The innovative features and the push towards generative AI spell a transformative change in the way complex products are configured and managed. This is a remarkable step towards sustaining a competitive advantage in today's fast-paced market.
