Data Standards
Data synchronization requires a standard format for both the sender and the receiver of product information. There are many existing and developing data standards made for the specific needs of one industry or another.

EAN/UCCnet
EAN/UCCnet is emerging as the leading data pool for CPG product information synchronization.

Other Data Pools
Organizations have formed in some industries to create and manage pools of product information. A PIM system must be able to synchronize data with many existing data pools.

Publishing Tools for Alternative Printing
