Product
Data Lake (PDL) is a fully developed, cloud-based platform that
allows business partners to exchange product information easily and
automatically no matter what system they are using today and no
matter how they are sharing product data information.
The
supplier stores and transfers the data his way, and the trading
partner decides how to receive the data. PDL handles the exchange and
conversion of the data automatically. PDL can also connect any type
of ERP and PIM systems. When one party uploads data to PDL from an
ERP or PIM system, the data is automatically “pushed” into the
product data lake that converts the data into the format that can be
transferred into the ERP or PIM system used by the trading partner.
Each partner has a unique profile. The uploading party determines,
which information is released and forwarded to the respective trading
partner.
PDL
is developed by specialists with extensive knowledge about and
experience with ”Big Data” and ”Master Data Management”.
Without any need for human interaction, PDL can handle the rapidly
growing demand for exchanging increasingly large amounts of data
between business partners across the globe – regardless of the type
of business or geographical location.
