Akeneo is a Product Information Management system (also known as PIM, PCM or Product MDM) and helps centralize and harmonize all the technical and marketing information of products.
|
||
|
||
We use Akeneo with success in our projects and products (For example in OM3), where it is responsible for:
|
||
|
||
- Keeping product data separate from other applications - such as E-Commerce systems
|
||
- Managing livecycles of products and managing product portfolios with their category structures
|
||
- Managing attributes and families and therefore acting as attribute master for the suite
|
||
|
||
The system has a modern and friendly user interface and product managers find things such as completenesscheck, translation views and mass editing very helpful.
|
||
|
||
With delta export and import capabilities and the usage of Mongo DB as persitence backend, the performance is acceptable. We miss a richer API - but the system is extendable and based on PHP/Symfony 2.
