Challenges
Slow speed-to-market, inefficient data compiling methods, untimely product updates, and poor data quality are just a few of the needs that PDM worked with EGR to address.
Managing application and product data via spreadsheets, coupled with working through data repositories, hampered EGR’s ability to deliver quality, error free data to trading partners in a timely fashion, often leading to lost sales.
