CLM Summit 2024 presentation by
Henrik Reif Andersen
Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder, Configit

In today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, digital transformation is imperative. Manufacturers must streamline processes, shorten time-to-market, and adapt to changing customer needs. Configuration Lifecycle Management is key, enabling digitization, minimizing custom engineering, and transforming product delivery methods.

Gartner states: “Strategic Planning Assumption (SPA): By 2026, configuration lifecycle management will transform 40% of manufacturers, reducing the amount of customer-specific engineering required to deliver products.”*

In this keynote, Henrik Reif Andersen, Chief Strategy Officer at Configit, will address the urgent need for manufacturers to revamp their digital transformation strategies. Henrik will explore orchestrating product data for a comprehensive, error-free data model, crucial for trends like sustainable product configurations and AI adoption. Henrik will also discuss AI’s transformative potential for configuration technology, including Virtual Tabulation®, urging manufacturers to embrace the digital future.
