John Russell, the ex VP of Harley-Davidson once said that “we don’t sell motorcycles. We sell to 43-year-old accountants, the ability to dress in leather, ride through small towns and have people be afraid of them.”

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.
