A few days ago, the Pimcore Inspire 2024 "Alpine Expedition" was held in Zell a See, Austria. It was a mixture of great content, innovative technology previews and networking opportunities, all in the beautiful setting of the Austrian Alps!
During the event, the entire Pimcore team presented new features for 2024, including Pimcore Studio and PaaS enhancements and showcasing advances in AI/ML and workflow automation. Pimcore Inspire also featured presentations from key Pimcore figures, such as Pimcore CEO Dietmar Rietsch, and sessions focusing on business strategies, technology innovations and insights for developers.
The conference venue, Zell am See, was chosen for its breathtaking Alpine scenery, which aligns with the conference theme: exploration and innovation. The town, known for its natural beauty, is an appropriate setting for an event that seeks to merge the worlds of technology and nature.
The highlight of the event was the dinner on the summit of the Schmittenhöhe, reached by a private night cable car, which offered participants a memorable experience and networking opportunities!
GMDE did not want to miss the annual event dedicated to all pimconauts.
GMDE's key figures were present and covered the main topics of the event: Pimcore Paas, AI and Pimcore CoPilot, major technology partnerships such as the one between Pimcore and Shopware!
Pimcore offers a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution that stands out as a key pillar for companies seeking to get the most out of digital. Pimcore is recognised for its wide range of functionalities and flexible customisation, enabling businesses to free themselves from the complexities and challenges associated with omnichannelisation. With Pimcore PaaS, companies can significantly accelerate project implementation while ensuring optimal performance and maximum security.
Pimcore PaaS is particularly beneficial for companies needing a customised digital strategy solution. It allows companies to fully customise the platform to meet their individual needs, thus offering a flexible and customisable solution that meets complex requirements. This enables more efficient development processes and faster introduction of applications onto the market.
Pimcore's PaaS solution eliminates the complexities of managing the cloud infrastructure, improving workflows from development to live production. It is designed for high efficiency, reliability, and security, providing development teams with the confidence to operate efficiently by drastically reducing the time to build and deploy applications. This makes it a valuable tool for teams looking to optimise development cycles and accelerate time-to-market.
Integrating AI into Pimcore offers many possibilities for improving data and experience management. By combining AI with Product Information Management (PIM), companies can significantly improve their operations, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and a deeper understanding of their customers. AI advances in Pimcore can automate tasks, predict market trends, improve security, reduce costs and promote innovation, thus transforming how companies manage product information.
One of the most important innovations is the introduction of Pimcore Copilot, an AI assistant designed to simplify content and data management tasks. This versatile tool adapts its functionality according to context, simplifying interactions with Pimcore's platform and increasing productivity. Copilot helps navigate data objects, assets and customised reports and accurately manages long-running jobs, providing real-time visibility and control over activities. In addition, it comes with pre-configured actions to further facilitate the management process.
The role of artificial intelligence in Pimcore extends to improving product data quality by automating repetitive tasks such as generating, validating and correcting product descriptions. This automation saves time and resources, allowing companies to focus more on strategic decisions.
Pimcore allows the simultaneous integration of different AI providers such as OpenAI, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and the models available on Hugging Face. This makes it possible to use the most suitable system for the desired purpose, such as generating missing product descriptions and exploiting product attributes to create detailed and accurate content. This improves data quality and enriches the customer shopping experience by providing comprehensive and up-to-date product information.
The integration of AI with Pimcore is set to revolutionise product data management, providing a seamless, efficient and intelligent system that adapts to the needs of modern businesses. Combining AI's analytical and automation capabilities with Pimcore's robust data management platform paves the way for more innovative operations, personalised customer experiences and, ultimately, business growth.
Pimcore Copilot is a dynamic AI-powered assistant designed to simplify the management and use of the Pimcore platform. Introduced to provide personalised support for a wide range of features, it represents a significant advance in efficiency and ease of navigation among Pimcore's many capabilities.
