Homegrown to Commercial PIM: Transition Strategies for Success

Recorded - available as on demand webcast

It’s hard enough to design and implement a ‘garden variety’ product information management (PIM) program. Even at its most base level, figuring out product names, attributes, and building consensus among stakeholders is a monumental challenge.

And as your business and data complexity grows, so too may your need for an enhanced PIM system that that accounts for numerous operating units, separate companies, global operations, and more.

But first, how to judge whether you are ready to jump from your homegrown solution? And if you’re ready to make the jump, what is the best path to ensure that you transition from one system to another successfully?

In this session our expert panel discusses:

  • The milestones that signal your readiness to take on a commercial PIM
  • Best practices when making the transition to a commercial PIM
  • How to align your PIM strategy to a logical data model

The Critical Element of Foundational Architecture

Recently I chaired the Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Institute Conference in San Jose – in the heart of Silicon Valley.  The event has brought together industry innovators from both large and small organizations, providing a wide range of perspectives. For example, the CEO of AI and ML testing startup of Kolena, Mohamed Elgendy and Srujana Kaddevarmuth, Senior Director, Data & ML Engineering, Customer Products, Walmart Global Tech discussed productization of AI solutions and ways to increase adoption. I especially liked the idea of a model catalogue from which data scientists can retrieve data sets and machine learning models that others have built rather than starting from scratch.
