Aras, the only resilient platform provider for digital industrial applications, today announced that Marc Lind, SVP of Strategy, will give a keynote presentation at CM Trends 2019, taking place August 26-28, 2019 in San Antonio, TX.

CM Trends is the premier forum for learning, discussing and sharing new advances and practices in configuration management. This event will showcase the latest trends in Digital Engineering, Transformation and Collaboration, Model Based Everything (MBX) and Industry 4.0, and 649C Enterprise Implementation. Attendees will learn about the internationally accepted and implemented industry standards and discuss real-life successful corporate experiences in configuration management.

Today’s new products are increasingly systems and systems of systems. The complexity associated with next generation weapons, vehicles, aircraft and other smart, connected technologies puts configuration and change management at the center of mission-critical operations. In addition, strategic initiatives across the organization, such as Digital Twin and Digital Thread, are completely dependent on solid configuration management (CM) principles.

Mr. Lind’s keynote, “The Future is a CM-centric World,” will explore why businesses around the world are embracing CM concepts like never before and discuss how new approaches are transforming processes for this brave new CM-centric world.
