CLM Summit 2026 Pillar - Building the Data Foundation for Future Growth

Building the Data Foundation
for Future Growth

Manufacturers can’t realize the promise of AI or profitable mass customization without a trustworthy, end-to-end product data and configuration logic foundation. CLM is the missing layer that connects systems, data, and logic, turning complexity into confident decisions across the configurable product lifecycle.

While manufacturers are embracing mass customization, they face challenges in achieving scalability and profitability due to misaligned data. As they move to digital threads and AI, establishing a trustworthy, end-to-end data foundation is more important than ever.

Join the 2026 CLM Summit to learn how a Configuration Lifecycle Management approach enables global manufacturers to offer customized products at scale, while providing a reliable data foundation by consolidating and validating configuration logic across the organization.
