Configuration Management
With the increasing complexity of products and corporate pressures to bring them to market quicker and cheaper, Configuration Management has been at the forefront of most commodity producing companies.

Configuration Management is a mature process having its beginnings in the 1970s. CMII is an advanced version of CM defining the best practices that determine how well a tool manages the data throughout the product development life cycle.

The Configuration Management core of VEMS is PDM based, currently using UGS PLM's Metaphase/Teamcenter Enterprise as a foundation. VEMS will be introduced on other PDM platforms in late 2004.

The VEMS module extends the Out-Of-The Box capabilities of Metaphase to include instantiated electromechanical objects that are managed by VEMS Configuration Management.
