Why PIM implementation isn’t a DIY Project

White Paper

»For companies that want to successfully introduce a new PIM system«

PIM completely in-house?
Never a good idea!

Quick, affordable, easy – this seems to be the contemporary zeitgeist when it comes to product data management. Many vendors jump on that train and try to outdo each other with their intuitive interfaces, free basic versions and preconfigured data structures. Many companies are convinced by these temptations and start the implementation of the new PIM system on their own.

Oftentimes, we are asked to join the project only when the first challenges arise – which they will inevitably do when there is no clearly defined strategy. Almost always DIY projects like these cost more time and money in the end than a well thought-through PIM project would have. The reasons for this are summarised in this paper – we wish you an enjoyable read!

  • PIM is everything but simple
  • No concept without an objective
  • Not all PIM systems are created equal
  • Integration as a key skill
  • PIM affects everyone
  • Communication is everything
