applications. On-premise refers to software that is self-hosted on a company&#8217;s servers and maintained by an in-house IT team. Software as a service (SaaS) is hosted by the application\u2019s company and is accessible through the cloud, requiring little to no maintenance from a dedicated IT team provided by a third party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As most brands know, your business typically revolves around releasing drawings, documents, and detailed product information throughout the entire value chain. The product information is critical and indispensable. However, much of it could be behind walls in systems like product lifecycle management (PLM) platforms. Worse, some companies could be disseminating this critical resource manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such product information management practices introduce a lot of inefficiencies and productivity gaps. Suppose you are in charge of acquiring a product information management (PIM) system to help streamline operations. However, you are stuck at either obtaining&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PIM software<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;that you can operate on local servers or PIM as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). So now you have to research how PIM SaaS might be the ideal choice to foster the agility envisioned by management or pick up an on-premises PIM because of the control it vests in your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making the right decision without sufficient understanding of these two types of PIM may be challenging. Most crucially, do you know what benefits each platform brings? This post provides the details and explains why the cloud&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">product information management software<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;is the right choice.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf30cf2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cf30cf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM-1024x382.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16647\" alt=\"How to use a PIM &amp; DAM for Shopify and BigCommerce\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM-1024x382.png 1024w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM-1536x573.png 1536w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shopify-BigCommerce-PIM-DAM.png 1637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd28840 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bd28840\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Understanding Product Information Management System (PIM)<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9b61a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e9b61a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is PIM?\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4fc836 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4fc836\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product information management (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/what-is-pim\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PIM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) can be two things depending on how you want to look at it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the one hand, PIM is a system that consolidates, organizes, and enriches product data. The system stores the information in a centralized hub, which stakeholders can access for the best quality and most recent product data. In other words, it creates a single source of truth for product information and facilitates seamless distribution across channels.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, PIM is a software application that forms the foundation of a product information management system. This application ingests data from business platforms like PLM and ERP and stores it in a centralized repository. The application allows users to add attributes, descriptions, and other details in a process called enrichment. Lastly, the application connects with channels like e-commerce platforms through APIs to facilitate seamless data transfer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9d8d50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a9d8d50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does a PIM software work?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcf9440 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dcf9440\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to see&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\" target=\"_blank\">product information management tool<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;in action is to consider the seven core capabilities.

A breach can lead to data loss, unauthorized access, and potential damage to your brand&#8217;s reputation. When evaluating PIM solutions, it&#8217;s crucial to consider the security measures to protect your valuable product data.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One advantage of SaaS applications is that security is baked into the platform from day one. Vendors invest heavily in robust security measures to protect their clients&#8217; data. These measures often include advanced encryption, secure data centers, regular backups, and stringent access controls. Moreover, SaaS providers employ dedicated security teams to monitor and manage potential threats, ensuring your data is protected around the clock.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrarily, on-premises PIM systems place the responsibility of data security primarily on your company&#8217;s IT team. This includes implementing and maintaining security protocols, monitoring for potential threats, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. While having direct control over your data might seem appealing, it also means that the resources and expertise required to maintain a secure environment are your organization&#8217;s responsibility.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is that opting for a SaaS PIM shifts a significant portion of security responsibility to the vendor, who specializes in this area. This frees up brands to focus on their core business while protecting their valuable product data.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b9859a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7b9859a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dce033 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4dce033\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">8.

The reason for ease is twofold \u2013 first, when PIM is delivered as a SaaS, there is exactly one version of the application. So due to that, it is easier to recreate the issue that the user is having. This is not the case with on-premise applications because a customer can technically be on a much older version. Due to this, the version the customer is running could be quite dated and hence diverge from the core support team, causing a delay in service or degradation of service.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second reason is customizations. The vendor support team may not be aware of customizations performed on the instance of the application, hence, along with customizations that the vendor support team will not be aware of.

While on-premises solutions may offer greater customizability and control, these advantages may come at the cost of higher long-term expenses, more complex implementations, and increased security risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, SaaS PIM solutions provide a more cost-effective, easy-to-implement, and secure alternative, with the trade-off being less customization and potential limitations in extending functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The on-premises model might be the better choice for organizations that require a high degree of customization or have in-house resources dedicated to enhancing on-premise PIM capabilities. However, PIM as a SaaS offers a compelling value proposition for businesses seeking a more streamlined, cost-effective, and secure solution for managing their product information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See how Catsy&#8217;s&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PIM and DAM integration<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;works!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As technological innovations continue to shape the future of product information management solutions, SaaS platforms are well-positioned to adapt and stay ahead of the curve.

The provider handles infrastructure and maintenance tasks.
