With channel-independent management of product information, companies can easily provide up-to-date, consistent and accurate product data for the constantly growing number of applications and output media. This is why web content management, e-commerce and product information management are closely linked.
For a long time, product data management and utilisation was decentralised and carried out by employees in different departments such as product development, merchandise management, marketing or sales. This led to a lack of internal transparency and inflexibility that companies can no longer afford today.
PIM systems enable centralised and media-neutral data storage and provide purchasing, production and communication-relevant data for multiple use across several IT systems, languages, output media and publications.
