MagentoLive Europe — Akeneo today announced a Magento Premier Technology Partnership that combines the expertise of the leading open source enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) provider with the leading eCommerce Magento platform. Akeneo PIM solution will manage and feed high-quality product information to the Magento platform and help customers deliver a more compelling and consistent product experience across sales channels. The combined power of Akeneo and Magento enables brands and merchants to improve product data quality and relevance for shoppers, which increases sales conversion rates and reduces product returns.
