  <description>In this CPQ Podcast episode, host&amp;amp;nbsp;Frank Sohn&amp;amp;nbsp;speaks with&amp;amp;nbsp;Tarak Patel, Sr. Vice President of Product and Technology at Aleran Software, about how Aleran is bringing&amp;amp;nbsp;sustainable innovation&amp;amp;nbsp;to Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) and digital commerce.  Aleran’s&amp;amp;nbsp;Connected Commerce platform&amp;amp;nbsp;is designed for&amp;amp;nbsp;mid-size manufacturers ($20M–$1B)&amp;amp;nbsp;and their channel partners. Built on&amp;amp;nbsp;headless, API-first, cloud-native architecture, the platform integrates with leading&amp;amp;nbsp;ERP systems(SAP, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Acumatica and more) and&amp;amp;nbsp;CRM solutions&amp;amp;nbsp;(Salesforce, SugarCRM). It also offers&amp;amp;nbsp;native eCommerce, pre-built connectors, Avalara tax, payment gateways, and shipping integrations—helping companies move beyond spreadsheets and home-grown tools. Tarak explains how Aleran supports&amp;amp;nbsp;CTO and ETO products, with a&amp;amp;nbsp;feature- and rules-based configuration engine, plus&amp;amp;nbsp;AI-driven guided selling&amp;amp;nbsp;and&amp;amp;nbsp;automated product content generation. With&amp;amp;nbsp;low-code/no-code flexibility&amp;amp;nbsp;and an average&amp;amp;nbsp;2-month implementation, manufacturers can achieve fast ROI. Beyond technology, Tarak shares insights on&amp;amp;nbsp;trust-based leadership,&amp;amp;nbsp;Aleran’s rapid growth, and how his philosophy of “sustainable innovation” drives both the company and his personal life—including golfing with his two teenage sons. 👉 Listen in to learn how Aleran is shaping the future of&amp;amp;nbsp;CPQ and B2B commerce. 🔗&amp;amp;nbsp;Learn more about Aleran Software at&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.aleran.com/&amp;amp;nbsp; 📬&amp;amp;nbsp;Contact Tarak&amp;amp;nbsp;on LinkedIn&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarak-patel-a6aa434/&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
