Impact of the HDM-based IDEA Connector
Following-up on the announcement last month that the Harmonized Data Model (HDM)-based IDEA Connector is now live, we wanted to share more about how HDM allows for consistent, normalized product data throughout the channel. Listen to Dante Urzi, Schneider Electric, talk about how this initiative isn’t about any single distributor or manufacturer, it’s a group effort to boost efficiency across the board, and how this collaborative spirit is reshaping the industry, making ‘better together’ a reality. View the full HDM & IDEA Connector playlist on IDEA’s YouTube channel and get involved as an HDM Subject Matter Expert (SME).
