Why do they use the abbreviation "PIM" for something which was called Product Data Management (PDM) for the last thirty years? Seems to be a new use of the abbreviation (i.e. all PIM references in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_information_management are less than a year old). It was already used for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_information_manager. Did they switch from PDM to PIM in business and operations management education, or is this just an idea of the developers of the referenced software?
