Julien Didier, President and Co-founder of DnD, shares how Akeneo empowers brands with high-quality product data, faster time-to-market, and seamless omnichannel experiences.
In this interview, Julien Didier from DnD, an Akeneo partner agency, discusses how Akeneo has transformed the way organizations manage and distribute product information. He highlights three key benefits: centralizing and structuring data for reliability, accelerating time-to-market with automation and enrichment, and adapting to evolving market needs through connectors and applications. Julien also shares examples from clients such as Christofle, Biscuit International, and Mr. Bricolage to illustrate how Akeneo drives business success across industries.
Beyond technology, Julien emphasizes that product information management (PIM) is a cross-functional initiative, not just an IT project. Success requires clear data governance, a well-structured data model, and strong adoption supported by change management. He underscores the importance of omnichannel strategies, AI-driven automation, and seamless customer experiences to stay competitive in 2025. For DnD, their consulting-first approach, expertise, and collaborative DNA set them apart in delivering PIM projects that create measurable business impact.
