The Complimentary Roles of PIM and MDM

Determine which of the two main types of solutions, PIM and MDM, is the best way to manage and maintain the single source of truth for your product information.

With all the different solutions on the market, it can be overwhelming to evaluate which solution is best for your organization in order to avoid information silos. To manage the data around products, such as descriptions, images, videos, etc. there is a plethora of acronyms of solutions to choose from. Version control, data protection, and data security are among the many concerns when evaluating the best solution to maintain the one single version of the truth.
