How Does EIM Help the Retail Industry?

By: Retail CIO Outlook | Tuesday, October 13, 2020

It is prevalent to think that EIM is innovation-driven and helps the business to find solutions. One of the most thriving EIM strategies is entirely business-driven.

FREMONT, CA: Enterprise Information Management (EIM)'s primary purpose is to refining raw information into a valuable asset for a company. Different reasons make the information useful, such as the nature of the data in question, the ways in which the owners can picture using it, the technology available, and the skills of those working with the execution of EIM.

There are a few practices reflecting the best planning and execution of an EIM strategy:

Approach: Since marketing is caught up in data inconsistencies and replications, communications-driven campaigns are made clumsy and inefficient. The rapidly evolving set of business-relevant rules and standards shows that the compliance program is straining to reach a moving target. Through implementing EIM, workers can come up with better ideas that can help with the management of the company and can successfully create concrete business cases.

Involvement of Stakeholders: It is essential to involve the stakeholders in brainstorming and strategic discussions since EIM can best position them to support critical business activities.

Protect Executive Sponsorship: Through securing the necessary funding and supporting the EIM program, more and more corporate sponsors can be useful. Organizations will need to gather their partners right from the start, keeping them up-to-date, onboard, and ready to handle well at any pressure point.

Promote Enterprise Awareness: The unrecognized importance of technical knowledge as an asset can go a long way by communicating the necessity of EIM and encouraging the different varieties of problems it can address. It can help companies understand their successful ideas and allow them to actually implement the changes they dreamed of.

Establishing the Implementation: At its heart, EIM is an enterprise-wide technique that can be implemented in small pieces. In fact, the whole plan needs to be large-scale and should take into account the effect of the next step in the overall picture. To provide more specific guidance, each identified factor can apply to EIM in a larger picture, as they are in a digital transformation.

The Right Partner: Implementing EIM needs more than just a technology vendor and a service provider. The execution needs a strategic partner, ideally having thorough EIM planning and implantation in every aspect.
