It’s summer, and you know what that means. Adventurers around the world are packing up their tent and firewood for some camping and fireside stories, whether it’s in the wilderness or their own backyard.

That includes everyone’s favorite three-headed hydra, Ziggy! She’s gathering the Akeneo PIM community around the campfire to share stories of scary product information problems and heroic PIM solutions, featuring the Akeneo customers that lived to tell the tale, as part of the new Customer Campfire Series!
