Changing Business Information Systems for Innovative Configuration Processes

The dynamic globalized markets cause an increase of competition and require companies to perform strategic changes in their business processes. This is one of the reasons for component manufacturers to offer not only separate products and components but also whole integrated solutions to their customers. However, this requires significant changes both in the business and information management processes that are related to configuration. The paper presents the challenges caused by the above changes and some solutions aimed at achieving higher efficiency of information management processes as well as supporting information systems for delivering standard, customized and custom products and solutions to the customers.
