August 2008 – The Microsoft Specialist Qurius and Perfion has signed a strategic agreement. Qurius will immediately promote and sell the Product Information Management system Perfion in Germany and Austria. A system that enables central management of data and media for multiple target systems.

The Perfion Solution

The target system could be an Online-Shop, a Printed Catalog or layout software used by a professional agency or printing house. All applications share the need of up-to-date product information, which is often today scattered across multiple data sources. The Perfion PIM solution can also be used to generate printable PDFs while making sure that the corporate design is used. The solution is aimed at organizations with many different product items or variants and/or product items described using many different attributes, features, images or other media that need to be used in different outputs or shared with partners, distributors, customers in many different ways.

The solution is based entirely on Microsoft technology and uses the Microsoft SQL Server as its database. Perfion integrates and structures all the information that was earlier maintained in several subsystems, this includes information directly from ERP-systems such as Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV, and delivers the information up-to-date and flexibly for any purpose.  All products can be described with information such as Descriptions, Data Sheets, Construction Drawings, Images, Photos, Audio- or Video sequences etc. External applications can ask for any type of information and get it delivered online whenever needed. In this way users in a Web Shop will receive the latest and up-to-date information in the desired presentation format.

Catalog management is simplified tremendously. Catalogs and pricelists can be created and made ready extremely fast and via digital print even in small numbers for specific target groups or languages. The up-to-date information can be delivered directly to cooperation partners via Push or Pull technologies, even directly to a Cell Phone. Companies are using Perfion to conduct efficient Enterprise Marketing, where Perfion makes sure that all the information can be delivered to the receivers in a trustworthy, up-to-date and cost effective manner, and even customer specific.
