The need for additional specialized know-how often arises along our consulting projects. Of course, we can offer much more than pure PIM consulting. Our customers appreciate the opportunity to extend the trustful cooperation beyond our absolute core competence.
With our content services, we always have the specialized partner for product classification and operational content management at our side.
Through the heritage of our consultants, our network, our community and our pool of associated freelancers, we can also provide consulting services for MRM, CRM, ERP, PLM, e-commerce and related areas. Some of our consultants have been in management positions of successful companies for a long time. Benefit from their wealth of experience as interim managers. This way you can cover your short-term needs in case of fluctuation or restructuring.
Based on your unique requirements, we put together your individual service package. In this way, you succeed in winning customers and prospective customers through the use of outstanding product data and in retaining them permanently. Stable processes help you work efficiently, grow faster, and compete even better in the market.
Our neutral PIM consulting is often the starting point for a more comprehensive cooperation. Complementary areas such as IT architecture (EAM), data quality management (DQM), operational content management are the basis for excellent product experience management (PXM).
Our consultants and service owners receive training in agile project management during their education and training. They are usually certified product owners.
As a rule, the implementation of PIM, MDM and MAM systems is agile, so our team is well prepared for the dialog with IT specialists, system providers and implementers. Agility in the daily business of our own company helps to constantly train the acquired skills.
Complex digitization projects often extend over several years. Due to the broad scope and rapid change, changes occur constantly. Therefore, these projects must be divided into manageable expansion stages and releases. The use of agile procedures reduces the complexity and increases the plannability of the implementation steps. First successes become quickly visible, the benefits tangible.
We can take on different roles in the project or support in-house roles or build them up.
Product Owner, Product Manager, Scrum Master, Enterprise Architekt
We have mapped our experience from business, process and IT consulting with common process frameworks (e.g. Business Canvas, SAFe, Togaf, Scrum, OKR) into a holistic agile methodology. This supports all project phases.
We use the result types of known agile methods and apply them to the different stakeholders in the project. The goal is not a complete documentation, but to identify the necessary adjustments and to derive tasks specific to the target group.
Strategy
Customer requirements for product data are constantly growing and the impact in the company is also changing. Additional and entirely new sales channels in connection with the PIM organization are in the process of change. Together, we develop the strategic foundations for the future sales orientation and never lose sight of the view of your target group.
Analysis & conception
As a solid basis for further recommendations, we analyze the status and future viability of your current product data ecosystem. From this, we derive sensible functional, technical, process-related and organizational requirements and change needs for future product data management. The IT architecture also comes into focus in the process.
System selection
The need for new software components often arises during the design of the technical building. But the number of software providers on the market is large and the orientation of the applications differ. We support you in finding the best solution for your requirements. To this end, we contribute our extensive market knowledge of software providers in the product data environment.
Implementation
We provide you with active support as needed during project implementation and rollout, and represent your company's interests vis-à-vis implementers and system providers. We support the business unit in all project and program management issues. We take on the roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master or Enterprise Architect until sufficient competence has been built up internally to manage the projects independently.
