- ICM is the industry leader for configuration management, best known for their CMII/IPE model. ICM's CMII (CM2) is an enhanced version of CM. CMII brings all configuration management related activities under one umbrella and provides an infrastructure that can accommodate change, keep documented requirements clear, concise and valid while ensuring that configurations conform to their requirements in every case. Such an infrastructure is a prerequisite for achieving integrated process excellence (IPE).

Configit offers the most powerful product configuration technology in the industry. Leading manufacturers from around the globe rely on Configit's CPQ (configure-price-quote) and CLM (configuration lifecycle management) software to handle their most critical product lines.

Speaking about the partnership, Joseph Anderson, Vice President of Services and Marketing for ICM said, "The Institute of Configuration Management is happy to be working in partnership with Configit and feel this collaboration will provide transformational value for our customers. We believe that Configit's Virtual Tabulation™ technology and its approach toward Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) are necessary for a tangible Internet of Things. Configit's approach aligns with ICM's mantra that the foundation of the 4th industrial revolution is a proper CM network, with people, processes, and products fully integrated to a functional Internet of Things. ICM and Configit customers will have a means to achieve one version and source of configuration truth throughout this network." 

Timothy Baynes, Executive Vice President for Marketing and Product Strategy at Configit stated, "Configit is excited to be working with the Institute of Configuration Management. ICM and Configit are both committed to solving difficult configuration problems for manufacturing companies. We share many of the same customers, and the same core values in helping our customers achieve excellence across business functions that touch the product. ICM's Configuration Management solutions are focused on achieving process excellence to ensure that products are manufactured and delivered to specification.  Executing configuration management well is difficult, and for companies that manufacture complex products it's even more challenging.  Configit and ICM will work together to deliver solutions that help companies significantly improve their configuration management processes, especially those companies that have configurable products."
