ICEcat's PIM now downloadable as open source

Today, we have brought ICEcat's PIM (Product Info Manager) 1.0 version live as a freely downloadable open source software system via sourceforge.net.
This PIM, also often termed Product Data Manager (PDM) or Catalog Management System (CMS), is able to
- handle up to millions of product data-sheets,
- enables your own editors or product managers to create their own multilingual data-sheets, and
- can be easily connected to the (Open) ICEcat database.

When is it useful?
When you are in need of a stress-tested, international solution to help your organization manage & produce big product catalogs. Handy for:
- manufacturers that have no central PIM in place,
- distributors that are used to produce product content for their channel partners, or
- high-end retailers and etailers that want to add or create unique product content for their clients
- comparison sites that want to add product content for special categories outside the scope of (Open) ICEcat

It can be downloaded NOW via SourceForge.net
