Mission

Integration of PIM with DAM

ZEG planned to replace its outdated individual PIM tool with a future-proof standard solution. However, an open solution with the necessary room for individualization was important to the customer. We were able to convince ZEG of the Akeneo Enterprise Edition as an on-premise version. ZEG also wanted to use a digital asset management solution to manage its product images. Due to the excellent integration with the Akeneo PIM, the choice fell on our TESSA DAM.

Challenge

Mastering complexity

One of the biggest challenges in the project was integrating the new PIM and DAM solution into the existing system landscape. This is very complex due to the many interconnected systems, processes and requirements. We also had to make extensive adjustments to the data model to enable individual descriptions for each specialist retailer.
