Promoting vehicle diversity through brand channels
Informatica learned that the BMW Group uses an ever-expanding number of channels to connect with
existing and prospective customers. To communicate effectively, it is important to access product-related
data assets, which can be spread across different internal and external IT systems and locally-hosted
files. Product information must be presented accurately and consistently across customer touch points,
including web sites, social media feeds, brochures, customer service call centers, e-shops, and dealerships.
Managing the interdependency among data sources can be just as complex as managing the total volume
of data. Companies can benefit from a single version of data truth for marketing and communications to
reduce the possibility of conflicting or incomplete product information across channels.
In addition, if companies routinely use printed catalogs and brochures to transpose product information
onto web sites, that can add to the complexity of presenting automotive purchasing options to consumers.

information
Informatica partner Arvato Systems worked with the team to deploy Informatica Master Data Management
(MDM), leveraging its legacy digital asset management system. This allowed departments to save and
share product data to a common global platform. Stakeholders could create and store basic channel
content and broadcast it uniformly over group communication channels. System management was
facilitated using intuitively designed web interfaces, one for stakeholders, and another for administrators,
delivering flexibility and control.
Streamlining content creation and delivery
Informatica has observed that a single version of data truth helped to streamline operations and reduce
costs with a more transparent content creation process. As a result, the accuracy of published product
information has improved, media asset quality has been enhanced, and the company has achieved shorter
time to market for global product assets.
The change management capabilities enabled by Informatica MDM – Product 360 provide the ability to
respond to customer needs and market demands faster.
