Longlist, Shortlist and/or PoC

This site has an interactive service to help you jumpstart in your tool selection for a solution for Master Data Management (MDM), Product Information Management (PIM) and/or Data Quality Management (DQM) as described in the post The Free Bespoke MDM / PIM / DQM Solution Ranking Service.

Select Your Solution

The result of this interactive online service is a selection of the 7 best fit solutions for your MDM / PIM / DQM implementation and possibly also a few solutions that could complement your choice as a best-of-breed supplement for special features as for example data matching and product data syndication.

With the 7 best fit solutions the thought succeeding process could be one of the below 3 options:

Long Path:

Long pathYour organization, possibly assisted by a consultancy firm, makes a deeper evaluation of the longlist with the 7 best solutions typically by issuing a written Request for Proposal (RFP) to all or the most promising solutions in the selection. The response will give you a detailed understanding of the capabilities offered and a price indication including license price and model, required consultancy costs and internal resources needed.

Based on this you will make a shortlist of the typically 3 solutions with the best fit capability and total cost of ownership (TCO) ratio. You will invite the providers for a demo and engage in answering specific concerns. From there your organization can award the best fit solution provider with a contract and you can commence the implementation possibly assisted by an implementation partner.

Short Path:

Short pathYour organization, possibly assisted by a consultancy firm, can issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the providers of the shortlisted solutions. Based on the response, including indications for total cost of ownership (TCO), you will invite perhaps two providers for a thorough demo and engage in answering specific concerns. From there your organization can award the best fit solution provider with a contract and you can commence the implementation possibly assisted by an implementation partner.

One Step to PoC:

One Step to PoCYour organization will invite the best fit solution provider for a Proof of Concept (PoC) possibly with the assistance of a consultancy firm. If the result is successful and the total cost of ownership (TCO) match your business case, you can commence the implementation based on a contract with the solution provider and possibly also with an implementation partner.

The Resource List is Growing

Last week The Resource List went live on this site.

The rationale behind the scaling up of this site is explained in the article Preaching Beyond the Choir in the MDM / PIM / DQM Space.

These months are in general a yearly peak for conferences, written content and webinars from solution and service providers in the Master Data Management (MDM), Product Information Management (PIM) and Data Quality Management (DQM) space. With the covid-19 crises conferences are postponed and therefore the content providers are now ramping up the online channel.

As one who would like to read, listen to and/or watch relevant content, it is hard to follow the stream of content being pushed from the individual providers every day.

The Resource List on this site is a compilation of white papers, ebooks, reports, podcasts, webinars and other content from potentially all the registered tool vendors and service providers on The Solution List and coming service list. The Resource List is divided into sections of topics. Here you can get a quick overview of the content available within the themes that matters to you right now.

The list of content and topics is growing.
