CIMdata Publishes eBook: “Configure-to-Order: Efficiently Meeting Diverse Customer Requirements”

Delivering Complex Products Faster and Accurately

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 28 January 2025—Today, CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, published a new eBook focused on Aras’ Configure-to-Order solution. This eBook describes Configure-to-Order (CTO), a product and sales strategy that efficiently defines and manages customer demand through the use of product variants.

Aras’ approach enables common variability definitions across the lifecycle, from sales to product development to manufacturing and finally to service. This ensures consistency while leveraging a low-code approach to support maximum product configurability.

Aras has developed a comprehensive enterprise CTO solution that enables manufacturers to engineer, produce, and service complex configured products while effectively managing change and satisfying both a product’s designers and producers and the varied needs of their end customers.

According to Mr. Tom Gill, CIMdata Principal Consultant, “The Aras Innovator platform provides the technology base upon which companies can develop and produce configurable products in support of Make-to-Stock (MTS), Engineer-to-Order (ETO), CTO, and combined CTO/ETO hybrid business and product line strategies.”
