How does Configuration Lifecycle Management differ from PLM?

PLM manages product data. Tacton CLM manages product configurability. 

Configuration Lifecycle Management complements PLM by governing how configurable options and rules apply across product revisions, markets, and factories. This allows downstream teams to work from engineering-approved configurability without duplicating logic or relying on spreadsheets.
