As part of our series on DAM and PIM, Murray Oles, President of Chalex, has recently contributed a feature article entitled ‘What Makes a PIM System Great?‘ Murray provides an overview of a PIM system’s key concepts and components, highlighting the importance of product compliance and the advantages of having a platform dedicated to providing a ‘single source of truth’ for products over inferior methods such as manual spreadsheet entry.
