PeopleSoft Enterprise Catalog Management Preface

This preface provides a list of common elements and an overview of Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Catalog Management.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Catalog Management

Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Catalog Management offers a unique solution to catalog integration. It simplifies catalog aggregation and maintenance by enabling organizations to build and maintain taxonomies, define transformation and cleansing rules, import and update partner content, automatically categorize products, manage catalog versions, and syndicate catalog content. PeopleSoft Catalog Management resolves the issues associated with catalog aggregation and maintenance, and ensures successful web-based implementation of applications requiring catalog content.

In PeopleSoft Catalog Management, an enterprise is the company (organization, distributor, service provider) that has purchased PeopleSoft Catalog Management and maintains the enterprise catalog. A partner is a company that supplies product or services that are then resold or purchased by the enterprise. Partners are often referred to as suppliers.
