You’ve gone through the process of implementing Product Information Management (PIM) or Master Data Management (MDM). You built a business case, conducted an RFP, selected a system, and now you’re up and running on the platform.

Only…you’re not thrilled with the results. Maybe you couldn’t move forward with your complete wish list for the project all at once. Or perhaps your timeframe didn’t allow for the optimal level of planning. These issues (and countless others) are common and completely understandable.  

The good news is you don’t need to start the process over again. There are steps you can take now to ensure your PIM or MDM platform starts delivering the ROI you (and your leaders) expect. 

Why address this now? Because data waits for no one – it’s always growing and evolving in complexity, just like your business. As we saw in 2020, companies need strong data so they can take an agile response to any challenge or opportunity. Plus, fixing poor data programs only becomes more difficult the longer it’s put off. 

To help you start the process, we’ve created the checklist below for identifying areas of PIM improvement, both in the near and long term.
