Putting Products in Their Place With Product Information Management: An Overview of Product Information Management

Category: Enterprise Applications, Networking and Communications

Overview Two significant entities of every industry and enterprise are the products and the customers. Although managing the information that defines a product can appear to be simple, it can be challenging for enterprises. Issues such as mergers and acquisitions, multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, globalization, and varying data types for product content have increasingly become barriers to the assembly, sharing, and distribution of accurate product information. This product information must be specific and contextually based on the category/type, location, and trading partner as well as variables regarding time. This requires retailers and manufacturers to evaluate their current legacy solutions, which do not support these requirements.
