Typically, the larger the company, the most clients they need to scout, approach, convert, and manage, requiring a more robust system. Thus, at a bare minimum any CRM is going to built on a database which stores client information and tracks company interaction with them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>PIM vs. CRM<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>With regard to PIM, the difference is quite simple. Because the practical focus of a CRM system is to manage interactions with clients, CRMs house client data, whereas PIMs house product content. In this way, while your CRM and PIM may be parts of your larger MDM framework or ERP system, they are likely to be quite different.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Even though they both function to store data, the kind of it, the purpose, and even storage of those data will be very different. Finally, while your marketing and sales departments certainly should be communicating and strategizing to ensure growth, your sales department is less likely to use your PIM as your marketing department is to use your CRM, depending of course on your company&#8217;s internal structure.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":4957,\"width\":598,\"height\":335} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4957\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"pim-vs-plm\" width=\"598\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-scaled-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash-1200x674.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>What is PLM?<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Just as the acronym reflects, PLM, which means product lifecycle management, is any software application allowing for complete management of all product-related information throughout the process of bringing it to market.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Because PLM is design-focused from the earliest phase of development, it covers product engineering and manufacturing, and manages the <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/product-information-management-workflow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"workflows (opens in a new tab)\">workflows <\/a>that drive productivity and collaboration.

Such services often include extra bells and whistles that can be customized to client specifications. However, the core of any such system is going to be a PIM with DAM functionality, because that&#8217;s what product content management is.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>PIM vs. PCM<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>For all intents and purposes there is no functional difference between PIM and PCM, outside of the acronyms themselves.

However, PIM has already become the virtual industry standard term for the kind of system both acronyms describe.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, as discussed above, PIM systems should incorporate the DAM functionality that manages your digital assets, as a matter of course. Thus, while PCM may automatically describe a PIM system with DAM functionality, standard industry expectation and practice are already moving in that direction with regard to PIM anyway.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Finally, a simple Google search of PIM and PCM is enough to demonstrate the fact that PIM is the acronym of choice for a system that centralizes, optimizes, and syndicates product content for eCommerce.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":4963,\"width\":598,\"height\":397} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4963\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"pim-vs-pxm\" width=\"598\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-scaled-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giu-vicente-FMArg2k3qOU-unsplash-1200x797.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pxm\">What is PXM?<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>PXM, product experience management, is another way of discussing the functionalities inherent to a PIM system.
