Oracle Unveils Oracle® Product Information Management Data Hub
Oracle Also Introduces Oracle Product Data Synchronization for GDSN and UCCnet Services
Following the success of Oracle® Customer Data Hub, Oracle today unveiled Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub (PIM Data Hub), an enterprise data management solution that enables customers to centralize all product information from heterogeneous systems, creating a single product repository that can be leveraged across all functional departments.
Oracle PIM Data Hub, a component of the recently announced Oracle Fusion Middleware brand, helps customers eliminate product data fragmentation, a problem that often results when companies rely on nonintegrated legacy and best-of-breed applications, participate in a merger or acquisition or extend their business globally.
Oracle PIM Data Hub can be used across all industries, regardless of existing enterprise application environments, including best-of-breed, in-house or legacy. New government and industry regulations such as Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), as well as retailer mandates around the use of UCCnet and Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) standards, are forcing companies to centralize management of all product information.
Oracle PIM Data Hub, along with Oracle Product Data Synchronization for GDSN and UCCnet Services, provides customers with a comprehensive product information management solution. Oracle Product Data Synchronization for GDSN and UCCnet Services enables companies to securely deliver product information to UCCnet and via the GDSN, and then to syndicate that data to trading partners. It provides pre-configured GDSN and UCCnet attributes, extensive EAN.UCC validations and complete robust messaging solution to help customers ensure that they share only accurate data with their trading partners.
Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub
Today companies can leverage the capabilities of Oracle PIM Data Hub together with Oracle PIM Data Librarian and Oracle Application Server 10g, to consolidate, manage and synchronize all product information with other source systems and trading partners. This comprehensive enterprise product information management solution offers virtually unlimited extensible attributes, workflow driven change management and granular role-based security. The data stored within the hub can be both unstructured data, like sales and marketing collateral, or structured data such as item attribute specifications, bills of materials (BOMs) for engineering and manufacturing.
Customers may use the Oracle PIM Data Hub to help manage business processes around such activities as the following:
- Manage sell-side and buy-side product catalog: Customers can securely store all finished goods product information – product characteristics, sales and marketing information, collateral, datasheets, images and organize products into user-defined catalogs for quick retrieval provide easy and secure access with keyword-based or parametric search.
- Centralize Product Master: Customers can consolidate their product and components into Oracle Product Information Management Hub to serve as an item master for all their systems. It also allows customers to manage product specifications, product documents and product configurations in a central system. Customers can manage new item definition and request process, control product data quality with validations and standardization and streamline product changes request and orders with workflow driven approvals and reviews.
- Integrated BOMs Management: Customers may consolidate and manage BOMs from multiple engineering systems, sales configurations, global manufacturing plants and service organizations; and provides a single view of BOMs per each product or item.
“Technology like Oracle PIM Data Hub is fundamental to a Demand-Driven Supply Network (DDSN) strategy,” said Lora Cecere, research director at AMR Research. “Oracle got the data hub concept right by starting with the Customer Data Hub, and has refined it with the introduction of the Oracle PIM Data Hub. However, this is just a starting point. The effective use of the product data for better decisions is the next step.”
