Top 5 Pimcore features to distribute data

Distributing data is taking on increasingly larger forms. And the need to share data through more and more ways, formats and more specific moments is only increasing.

Customers want to use data and rich data pools ask for it. Data is needed for internal systems, applications, for social media and price comparison and advertising portals. Data also returns in documents and physical catalogs. The good news is: data is there. The bad: the data is often fragmented across a variety of sources. How do you bring more uniformity and efficiency in data distribution? The following features can help with this.

      Web portal for assets

      The MDM-PIM tool releases a set of data via a web portal: an image bank, a download portal or a brand and partner portal.
