06.11.2006 — GXS, Deloitte and Tesco will host an executive briefing to provide insight and recommendations to business leaders on the use of GXS Product Information Manager (PIM) solutions.  Discussions will centre on how GXS PIM solutions can provide distinct improvements in business efficiency through the creation and management of accurate and consistent product data. External data sharing initiatives, such as data synchronisation, only can succeed once internal data accuracy is established.  PIM enables this by cleaning and synchronising back-end data, building workflows to automate processes across departments and sharing accurate product, price and promotional information with trading partners.

The all-day briefing will educate participants on how businesses can achieve accurate data with real-life case studies presented by Deloitte and Tesco along with advice from GXS’ retail industry experts and solutions consultants.
 
Participants will:

• Learn how to begin their own Global Data Synchronisation (GDS) project
• Hear from leading retail customers on their experiences
• Receive advice on GDS solutions to business issues
• Discover the next steps to enable their own business transformation
