Configit and Deloitte Consulting Form Strategic Partnership
In a significant move towards enhancing product configuration management for global manufacturers, Configit, a renowned leader in Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), has announced its partnership with Deloitte Consulting, a global leader in management consulting services including strategy and technology. This collaboration aims to revolutionize how manufacturers approach their product lifecycle strategies, offering an integrated solution that intertwines advanced technology with expert knowledge.
The partnership combines Deloitte's extensive experience in business process analysis with Configit's leading CLM technology. This will enable clients to benefit from a holistic approach to managing product configurations, ensuring efficiency and error-free output in product manufacturing. By merging the expertise from Deloitte’s Product Strategy and Lifecycle Management (PSLM) services with Configit’s technical capabilities, they can implement CLM solutions in a remarkably short timeframe, often within weeks.
Key Benefits of the Collaboration
The newly announced collaboration is set to provide significant advantages to manufacturers operating in increasingly complex market environments. CLM serves as a critical tool that enables these entities to develop, manufacture, and sell configurations of their products smoothly. These solutions help reduce complexity across the value chain while elevating operational efficiency and responsiveness to customization needs.
Deloitte’s consulting prowess paired with Configit’s cutting-edge CLM technology facilitates an end-to-end digital continuity. This seamless integration guarantees consistency and compliance throughout the entire product lifecycle, significantly enhancing the digital transformation processes for manufacturers.
Tino Krueger, a partner at Deloitte Consulting specializing in product strategy and lifecycle management, stated, “In an era where product solutions are increasingly complex and tailored, we are thrilled to support our clients with this joint offering from Deloitte and Configit. Our close cooperation enables us to assist clients at every stage of their journey towards a consistent digital thread and an efficient configuration lifecycle.”
Enhancing Manufacturer Capabilities
As Johan Salenstedt, CEO of Configit, articulated, “A successful partnership is one that converges mutually beneficial offerings. While Deloitte brings in its expertise in integrating digital threads and product lifecycle management systems, we contribute a CLM that enables automated configuration of complex products. Together, we are well-positioned to steer manufacturers towards streamlined and optimized product lifecycle processes. This is a tremendous advantage for our clients.”
The technology underpinning Configit’s offerings is based on its patented Virtual Tabulation® (VT™) technology, which has transformed product configuration by enhancing speed and management of complexity. This innovation empowers leading global corporations to deploy powerful and user-friendly configuration solutions, ultimately leading to better customer satisfaction and improved market performance.
Looking Forward
Through this strategic alliance, both Configit and Deloitte are keen to reshape the landscape of product configuration management. The partnership not only signals a strong commitment to helping manufacturers navigate the complexities of modern production but also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between technology providers and industry consultants. As they proceed, it will be exciting to witness the transformative impacts of this partnership across various sectors.
For manufacturers looking to remain competitive in a fast-evolving market, integrating such robust configuration lifecycle management solutions will be essential.
