What Makes a Full-Service PIM More Adept Than Others?

1. The current PIM/DAM landscape

Many PIM/DAM solutions started as one or the other. Over time the tech companies eventually realize you can’t have one without the other. Therefore, they had to create a hybrid to meet the needs of their users. The result is inevitably an unbalanced solution where the afterthought add-on isn’t as robust. So, you’re working with a weak link in your information and asset management, and your team pays the price.

Also, because the PIM provider is less familiar with the DAM or vice versa, they pass implementation onto a third party provider to get their product up and running. Even worse, you are left to outsource deployment on your own. Again, your team pays the price because there isn’t accountability on either side of the table: PIM or implementor. This leads to holes in PIM performance because you don’t gain insights into the platform’s full power (or weaknesses).

2. Outsourced vs. full-service for PIM

Many PIMs currently sell you the technology, wave goodbye, and part on their merry way. This lack of commitment to their own product leaves you with a third-party agency to handle the implementation. In all honesty, it’s not the implementation team’s fault if the deployment goes south, as they lack familiarity with the platform. They might want to take accountability but just don’t have an intimate enough understanding of the PIM/DAM’s functionality. Either way, you are at a disadvantage as you don’t have full support from the third-party implementation team or the software provider.

On the other hand, when you choose a full-service PIM, they understand the capabilities of their platform and use it to manage your vast amount of product information. They take full responsibility for their product and ensure they don’t disrupt your business during implementation.

Instead, they have already performed an assessment of your current processes and can focus on implementation. They can focus on meeting the requirements and workings of your business. They aren’t just selling a PIM/DAM but instead creating an opportunity enabling you to take full advantage of their product. As a result, you enjoy the full value of your investment, and your entire team continues to benefit from your full-service PIM/DAM as a true end-to-end solution.
