New Product Introduction time cycles are getting shorter. Innovation cycles, improvements to existing products, are speeding up too. Yet the communication process of new product data to customers and products is still done, as done years ago. Most enterprises have not increased the speed of communication of product data. Internationalization, the growing demand for products from all corners of the world, demands and forces localized communication. Yet many marketing departments at major enterprises, struggle with publishing product data in multi languages. The pain which this company is suffering, is lost sales caused by delay and excess administration costs. Read more about Dynamic print publishing here >>>

PIM-data.com, a MDM and PIM strategy website, has just released a new MDM request for information (RFI) guide to help enterprises frame baseline vendor questions for MDM solution vendors. This guide has queries and answers to help the MDM solution seeker funnel to a shortlist quickly.
PIM-data.com has just released a new guide which will save enterprises time and cost in framing an MDM solution plan. This new guide will help answer: “Where can I get data on master data management solutions, which can manage multi-domains like customers, suppliers, parts and more, which will fit our business, and will meet our requirements?”
The recent Gartner summit in Chicago described the MDM solution space as fragmented. Many vendors can only do certain aspects of a full MDM enablement strategy. Some vendors model customers, some model products. Only a few can deliver an architecture an enterprise can grow with and which can model multi domains. And most vendors will tell you that there solution is “multi-domain” yet this is not the case. This Guide, in clear question and answer format, helps you diagnose the best MDM solution providers for your enterprise.
This free guide, in a spreadsheet format, delivers over 150 detailed RFI questions which need to be explored. The guide is in RFI or RFP format; a list of categories and questions reside on the left side of the guide, and the answers are posed on the right side of the guide. Categories include:
*** Taxonomies, Classifications, hierarchies
*** Attribute management
*** Data Aggregation
*** Data Governance
*** Data Quality Management
*** Advanced Work Flow
If your company is considering MDM or PIM solutions this guide can assist you. The guide is full of best practice queries and answers which may help your MDM enablement process and guide you to a vendor shortlist quickly.
This guide will be sent to you, FREE of Costs.

Print publishing is often time consuming and limited. Catalogs can take several months to prepare for pre-press and are limited to current data at the start of this process. Many catalogs, far too many, come fresh in the box from the printer loaded with dated and inaccurate information. Dynamic print publishing, working with a product information management solution speeds this process. With a push of a button, maybe two buttons, you can print a catalog. Our clients tell us to expect these benefits with a PIM/Publishing solution:
This solution is not your old print publishiing software. Or a static hard to use software tool. Technology has made big gains pulled by ever increasing new product flow and product update demands. Present your partners and customers with a rich, real-time product offering, include bundles and assortments. Make your company’s products ‘Stickier” and boost your profits.
