The Product Information Management for Retailers solution is composed of
business objects, collaboration objects, connectors, maps, and managed workflow.
These basic components work together to enable a demand-side trading partner
to receive item data from a supply-side trading partner through a global data
registry such as UCCnet, and to process the data for completeness, approval,
and eventual update to back-end systems. The solution also delivers appropriate
responses to the registry.
Note: The following sections outline the basic
Product Information Management for Retailers solution components at a high-level.
For descriptions of hardware and software prerequisites, as well as detailed
