Case Study: Merging Akeneo and Nuxeo into one system: Pimcore
Unify is a subsidiary of the Atos Group and specializes in solutions and offerings around virtual, distributed and remote collaboration in enterprises, with customers and partners.
Unify previously used Akeneo as its PIM system and Nuxeo as its DAM system. This split meant that custom-built adaptations were needed to relate data from both systems. The main goal of replacing both systems with Pimcore was to provide a reliable and customized solution that would allow Unify to create and maintain product data very easily without having deep knowledge of the internal data structure.

Merging Akeneo and Nuxeo into one system: Pimcore
Pimcore as the ideal solution
In a feasibility study, we therefore first examined whether Pimcore, as a consolidation of both systems, could handle the high number of queries and whether Pimcore could be used to implement a data model that facilitates operation, maintenance and management of various channels in different languages for Unify. With Pimcore, Unify has information about all its product data at a glance. Integrated asset management eliminates duplicate or redundant attributes and makes it easier than ever to link and maintain products and documents. With the new Pimcore system, product data sheets for the various phone and client systems are now made available as PDF downloads in the B2B customer portal, the partner portal and the internal wiki based on specified restrictions. The access restriction is based on the user's role and country code. In addition, the provision of the product data takes into account the set sales milestones, which can vary from country to country.
