Is your PIM platform still future-proof?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Too many workarounds? Time for a reality check.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Many companies have successfully implemented and expanded their PIM systems in recent years. What was initially flexible and suitable often evolves, as complexity increases, into a solution that requires more and more effort: in data maintenance, integrations, change processes, and further development.
\nThe key question, therefore, is no longer simply whether the PIM \u201cworks.\u201d
\nRather: Does your current product data platform still align with your growth goals, your system landscape, and your future architecture?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Sustainability<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Why This Question Is Becoming Even More Relevant Today<\/div><\/div>

Sustainability is becoming a key evaluation criterion<\/p>\n<\/div>

Today, evaluating an existing product data platform is no longer just a matter of usability, integration effort, and operating costs. To an increasing extent, technological sustainability, regulatory requirements, and the ability to use data at scale are also determining whether a platform still aligns with the company’s vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
Four Developments Are Particularly Relevant in This Context:<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
AI requires structured, reliable, and usable product data<\/div><\/div>

Artificial intelligence significantly increases the value of product data \u2014 but only if that data is consistent, context-aware, and usable across systems. Companies that want to make greater use of product data in the future for content generation, translations, attribute enrichment, classification, search, consulting, or automation need a platform that supports high data quality, clear governance, and flexible deployment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"KI<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Cloud- and API-enabled architectures are becoming the standard<\/div><\/div>

Many companies are evolving their IT infrastructure toward the cloud, API-first approaches, composable architecture, and specialized platforms. This places greater demands on integration capabilities, scalability, the ability to release updates, and flexible data delivery. If an existing PIM\/MDM environment hinders rather than supports this development, it creates a structural disadvantage for future digitalization initiatives. EU regulatory policy is reinforcing this trend, as product information is increasingly expected to be standardized, made available digitally, and accessible across systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Cloud-<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Governance, transparency, and traceability are becoming more important<\/div><\/div>

As the number of channels, markets, product assortment strategies, and regulatory requirements grows, so does the need for transparent data processes. Today, companies must be able to demonstrate more clearly than ever before where information comes from, how it is maintained, who is responsible for it, and in what contexts it is used.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Governance,<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
The Digital Product Passport is increasing pressure on product data platforms<\/div><\/div>

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) established the regulatory framework for the Digital Product Passport. The regulation was adopted on June 13, 2024, and has been in effect since July 18, 2024. It provides that product information for the relevant product groups can be made available digitally in the future, in particular through a digital product passport. The specific implementation will take place in stages through delegated acts and work plans of the European Commission.
\nOn April 16, 2025, the European Commission published the first work plan for 2025 through 2030. Among other things, the document identifies textiles and clothing, furniture (including mattresses), tires, and intermediate products made of iron, steel, and aluminum as priority product groups.
\nFor companies, this means that the requirements for product data will not become less stringent in the coming years, but rather more specific, more structured, and more relevant from a regulatory standpoint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Question 01<\/p>\n<\/div>

Your PIM is more of a project than a platform<\/div><\/div>

If every major adjustment to the data model, workflows, mapping, or structure becomes a project in its own right, a product data platform can quickly turn into a constant source of change management efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Question:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDo you regularly need outside assistance or specialized technical solutions for major changes?<\/p>\n<\/div>
