Leading organizations are breaking down their information silos to gain control of their most important and commonly shared enterprise information assets. These initiatives are based on master data management (MDM), a practice designed to achieve & maintain a single version of truth across the enterprise. Product information management (PIM), an element of MDM, establishes a single repository for products & services that can be used to address strategic business initiatives throughout an organization. Creating a complete & consistent PIM solution requires addressing different data requirements across existing systems, aligning implementations with existing business processes and workflows, establishing appropriate role-based access & offering business users easy, intuitive access to the system. However, organizations deploying PIM must ensure that their implementation leverages existing data models & business processes and integrates into their existing systems landscape.
