About the DATAgility Team
The
DATAgility consulting and services team is managed by Denise
Keating and Ed Heon, representing many years of helping manufacturers
provide accurate, rich, current product data and synchronization
with their channel partners.
Denise and Ed have worked in industrial manufacturing and
distributor ecommerce applications, including inventory collaboration
and data management positions. During this time, they were
active contributors to the development of EDI and data standards
in the Electro Supply industry. Their work supported the
formation of one of the first successful industry product
data warehouses.
In the Aftermarket, Ed is known as the “father of PIES”,
the Industry’s Product Information Exchange Standard,
which is gaining widespread use and application. Denise and
Ed initiated and ran the widely publicized AAIA data synchronization
pilot program, showing the significant data problems among
key Industry participants. They were also the architects
of the Data Audit and Certification (DAC) program, currently
operated by AAIA for the Aftermarket.
Most recently, Denise and Ed spearheaded the use of PIES
as a required foundation for a number of successful standards-based
initiatives between Industry channel partners. Through this
work, DATAgility has gained expertise in partner requirements.
Ed teaches the PIES classes at Northwood University. As part
of a recent class, Ed and Denise presented the results of
their highly successful programs with several of their channel
partners, including a full Industry standards program with
a leading manufacturer.
The growing DATAgility team comprises experienced data management
people that Ed and Denise have worked with through the years
in many of these Industry-leading programs. They are ready
to work with you.
