Digitization

• The digitization of our business is already running
• What are the consequences for the threefold sales model?

– Manufacturer? – Distributor / wholesaler? – Installer / contractor?

• What about our customers in the digitized world?
• Do we loose our costumers in the digital journey?

Digitization

What are the fundaments for the processes in the digital business?

All processes starts with product data!

• rapid growth of product range

(100.000 in 1995, 500.000 in 2002, > 1 million in 2010, > 2 million in 2017)

• further growth of information needs per article
• shorter product life cycle and quicker TTM
• product database quality more important

Trends in product data management

ETIM

• Fixed model for classifying technical products

− without hierarchy − with features, values, units – parametric!

• Listing of the most important technical characteristics of each product class

to describe and find the articles standardized.

− multi – lingual − media neutral − supplier neutral
