In other words, Harley Davidson sells experiences, not motorcycles. The same can be said of Product Information Management (PIM) systems.

You might think a PIM system is just a neat way to manage your business’ product information, but the overall effect that a PIM system can have on your business and your organization can be dramatic and transformational.
