Accenture to Speak at the Configit CLM Summit as Partnership Gains Momentum

Configit, the global leader in Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), today announced that Accenture, a leading global technology consulting company, will speak at their 11th annual CLM Summit on May 6-7, 2026, underscoring the continued momentum of the partnership between the two companies.

Rüdiger Stern, Managing Director at Accenture Industry X, will present “From Customization to Resilience: Building an End-to-End Digital Thread with CLM,” highlighting how manufacturers can strengthen resilience and decision-making through a connected digital configuration thread across the product lifecycle.

“Increasing customization and software-driven products are making complexity a structural challenge for manufacturers,” said Rüdiger Stern, Managing Director at Accenture Industry X.
“Establishing a connected digital configuration thread through CLM enables companies to move from reactive decision-making to confident, data-driven execution. Our collaboration with Configit helps clients build exactly that foundation.”

Accenture’s participation reflects the progressing collaboration between Accenture and Configit. Together, the companies help industrial manufacturers master product complexity, achieve end-to-end digital continuity, and accelerate the delivery of highly configurable products.

“As customization increases and regulatory demands tighten, traditional siloed systems, including PLM, ERP, CRM and CPQ, are no longer sufficient,” said Johan Salenstedt, CEO of Configit.
“Our partnership with Accenture combines deep transformation expertise with Configit’s Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) approach and Virtual Tabulation® technology, enabling manufacturers to manage complexity at scale and establish true digital continuity across the lifecycle.”

At the heart of the collaboration lies the CLM approach as a strategic lever for digital transformation, creating a shared source of truth for product rules and lifecycle constraints across engineering, manufacturing, sales and service.

The Configit CLM Summit brings together industry leaders to explore how CLM drives resilience, sustainability and competitive advantage in complex manufacturing environments.
