Implementing Product Information Management (PIM) is a complex process that requires careful planning and preparation. Before any implementation work begins, you need to conduct a pre-implementation analysis. Its purpose is to examine the company’s needs and requirements and develop a strategy to meet them.

Before implementing PIM, you must understand your business, identify the problems you want PIM to solve, and define your objectives.

The pre-implementation analysis makes it possible to determine the scope and scale of the project. It also identifies the resources and skills required to implement the PIM effectively.

In response to these challenges, we have prepared a guidebook, "100 questions on your way to perfect PIM," which contains a series of questions to prepare for PIM implementation effectively.

What can you learn from our guidebook?

In this guidebook, we focus on the role of pre-implementation analysis in the PIM implementation process. We will explain the critical steps in conducting a pre-implementation analysis and the questions to ask to ensure that the analysis is complete and effective.

You will have an understanding of the issues like:

• Needs of PIM system users,
• Implementation team,
• Graphic design and access channels to the system,
