Enterprise Product Information Management for IBM WebSphere Commerce
Today's dealers are expected to offer an increasingly extensive range of online products. Customers expect individual and detailed product information in the e-Commerce sector. To meet this demand, Descom partners with Heiler Software, to feed e-Commerce and Web channels with high quality product and master data.
Heiler’s Enterprise Product Information Management solution is a standard solution for the management and communication of product data from one single central and controllable data source. Wholesale distributors, mail order businesses and manufacturers can increase marketing productivity and sales figures by applying the central Enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) solution. For the third time in succession, Gartner has just named Heiler one of the top 10 worldwide leading providers of Master Data Management (MDM) and PIM.
Product information from the Heiler Product Manager can be directly transferred to IBM WebSphere Commerce Suite via a standard interface, which in turn assumes responsibility for the online presentation and selling process. The presentation and positioning of a product in the web shop can be examined and optimized during the data hosting process. From now on Descom will offer one face to the customer in Finland to implement Heiler and IBM solutions.
"E-Commerce can only be a success with perfect product information. In this way, cross-selling potential can actually be used. The seamless linking of one of the leading PIM systems with our WebSphere Commerce Suite is, therefore, an important step towards offering our e-business customers real benefits", says Henrik Scheel, IBM's Business Unit Director.
"Simultaneous distribution via various channels is becoming increasingly important - regardless of whether your enterprise focuses on B2C or B2B policies. We are very pleased having Descom on board of our international VAR-network", expresses Frank Schmidt, chairman of Heiler Software.
