摘要

Product configuration connects to other business processes such as Customer Relationship Management, Product Lifecycle Management, Supply Chain Management, and Enterprise Resource Planning. Configuration Lifecycle Management can serve as a single source of truth that ties together all product knowledge relevant to configuration. A good architecture is based on proven concepts such as defined data storage, standard interfaces, clear responsibilities (services), separation of concerns (modularity), and flexibility to adapt to changing requirements and environments. In this chapter, we introduce different views on the same configurable product that support the integration of product configuration into the broader business ecosystem. We discuss system architecture considerations and data integration aspects, providing practical guidance for implementing configuration systems in real-world environments.
