The discussion will focus on end-to-end product information management and data synchronization – the ability to synchronize SKUs, GTINs, UPCs and item attributes such as color, size and price – both within a company and between trading partners. Industry expert Andrew White will discuss: 1) inaccurate and incomplete product information as the root cause of brand erosion and business problems; 2) the best approaches for solving product information problems; and 3) selection criteria for choosing the most effective solution.

"An end-to-end data synchronization strategy should be a priority for the global retail trading community," said Andrew White, Gartner Research Director. "The right combination of product information management and data synchronization solutions will have a significant impact on driving effective merchandising, improved inventory control and enhanced customer service."

"Getting the right information within a company and across its trading community is a foundational requirement for effective global brand execution," said Renee d'Ouville, Vice President of Product Strategy for QRS.
