Configuration Management (CM)

BUILD CONFIDENCE IN YOUR PRODUCT DATA

In today’s complex product environments, Configuration Management (CM) isn’t optional — it’s the backbone of reliable, compliant, and efficient operations. Without strong CM practices, errors multiply, compliance becomes harder, and collaboration stalls. With the right tools and expertise, configuration management transforms from a burden into a powerful driver of quality and innovation.

At Intrepid, Configuration Management is one of our core strengths. Our team is certified in leading CM methodologies and has deep experience helping organizations bring order and structure to complex product data. We don’t just advise — we implement proven practices and the right platforms to ensure accuracy, consistency, and confidence across the enterprise.

CM is the backbone of the Digital Thread. We design CM processes and systems that connect across PLM, ERP, and enterprise tools, giving you a true single source of truth

THE RIGHT TOOLS: ARAS AND ODOO

Together, Aras and Odoo represent flexible, scalable solutions for firms looking to strengthen their CM foundation — whether through PLM, ERP, or a fully integrated Digital Thread.

Configuration management isn’t just about process — it’s also about the platforms you rely on to enforce structure and consistency. That’s why we recommend two powerful, flexible solutions:

Aras Innovator (PLM)

Built for enterprises managing highly complex product data, Aras provides robust configuration and change management tools, along with integration to CAD, ERP, and other enterprise systems
