Digital Transformation: Unlocking Business Value for Manufacturers

To compete smarter, faster and with greater intensity in the future, start with the decision to digitally transform manufacturing today.

Early adopters of digital transformation initiatives are already experiencing improvement of existing products using greater insights, reduction of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), Sales, General & Administrative (SG&A) and greatly improved customer experiences.

Digital Transformation: A Revenue Driver for Your Business

Tracking cost reductions generated from digital optimization efforts are easy to sell to any CEO or Board of Directors because they promise, and deliver, results that make an impact on financial performance.

Manufacturers excelling at digital transformation start by optimizing every aspect of their organizations, especially those directly aligned with customers.

By integrating front-end processes enabled by CRM, CPQ and product configuration systems with back-end systems comprised of ERP, PLM and CAD, manufacturers achieve accelerated growth.

What is CLM

Can you benefit from CLM?

The following checklist is designed to help you determine if your company could benefit from a CLM approach.

Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) unifies every business function involved with configured products, from engineering and sales to manufacturing and service, into a shared source of configuration truth.

CLM enables manufacturers to plan and launch new products more efficiently and at a lower cost by integrating all core systems from a customer-centric perspective.
It helps companies gain and maintain a competitive edge by increasing speed to market and ensuring a seamless lifecycle for their configurable products. Improving time-to-market for new products and excelling at time-to-customer are critical metrics for today’s customer-driven manufacturers.
