Fragmented Product Data: The Hidden Barrier to Customer Trust
When a shopper searches online for a new pair of shoes. The respective website shows one colour but the mobile app displays another at the same time, the product page lists inconsistent sizes across regions. It results in confusion and loss of trust for the specific brand. Here the underlying problem is not poor marketing, but its fragmentated product data. This scenario highlights how a Product Information Management (PIM) solution is essential for accurate and consistent commercial experiences.
QKS Group defines Product Information Management (PIM) as a "solution that organize, govern, enrich product content and distribute it through connected commerce networks to achieve uniformity, regulatory compliance, and conversion optimization at customer touchpoints. The solution gathers data from various internal and external sources to organize it through category-based schemas while enhancing it with attributes, media assets, and localized content through automated processes, AI, and integrated syndication workflows." PIM solution help brands and retailers achieve unified product information management through data consolidation, attribute enrichment, digital asset management, regulatory compliance alignment, omnichannel syndication, and performance tracking regardless of product complexity and scale. Modern PIM systems function as the definitive product content repository that enables direct integration between upstream data systems (ERP, PLM, supplier portals) and downstream distribution channels (eCommerce storefronts, marketplaces, social commerce channels, and in-store systems).
Why PIM Has Become a Core Enabler of Modern Commerce
Providing a seamless phygital experience is one of the main criteria that sets a brand apart from the other vendors in the market. In addition, customers now prioritize consistency, agility, and trust. Need of PIM solutions have increased in the past few years due to rising SKU counts, omnichannel expansion, sustainability disclosures, and tightening compliance norms. As managing variant data like mix of colour, size, materials and localized descriptions at large scale is impossible with legacy tools, whereas PIM provides scalable product data modeling linking attributes across multiple SKUs. In addition, enterprises now integrate all systems like ERP, PLM, DAM and such others, all generating product related data. In this case, PIM act as the integration hub that unified product information across systems. As consumers require transparency, there has been a significant rise of sustainability regulations like EU Digital Product Passport (DPP), GS1 standards and rise of AI to generate structured and enriched product data. As a result of these driving factors, PIM has become foundational for retailers, brands and manufacturers to validate product data accuracy across marketplaces, B2B portals, and D2C sites. More than ever, with abundant of data available, role of PIM as a single source of truth has become crucial.
The Challenge: Choosing the Right PIM Solution
As the efficiency of PIM directly affects customer trust, it is essential to choose an appropriate PIM based on specific business requirements. In general, decision makers rely on analyst evaluations to select a solution but feedback from validated users increases the credibility of the particular solution.

Unifying Perspectives in Digital Threat Intelligence: How SPARK Plus Closes the Evaluation Reality Gap
Digital Threat Intelligence Management has quietly become one of the most strategic layers in enterprise cybersecurity.

Digital Threat Intelligence Management has quietly become one of the most strategic layers in enterprise cybersecurity. It sits at the intersection of external threat visibility, predictive analytics, and operational response. But while the technology has evolved rapidly, the way most organisations evaluate these platforms has not kept up. Market reports and rankings still focus on what vendors claim to deliver, not how these capabilities perform in real environments. This disconnect has created what I call the evaluation reality gap. It is reshaping how security leaders think about buying decisions, and it is exactly the gap that SPARK Plus is designed to close.
QKS Group defines Digital Threat Intelligence Management as “technology that offers unified insight into external threats to organisational digital-facing assets. The technology aggregates and processes threat intelligence from multiple sources and provides comprehensive information about threat actors to enable improved investigation, threat hunting, and cyber defence.”
This sounds straightforward, but the real picture is far more dynamic. The threat landscape is no longer evolving in predictable cycles. It is accelerating. Adversaries now use artificial intelligence to generate new attack vectors, deepfake content to carry out fraud campaigns, automated tools to exploit vulnerabilities, and highly coordinated supply chain compromises. Traditional security approaches such as signature-based detection and static threat feeds are constantly a step behind.
Digital Threat Intelligence platforms have had to keep pace. They are no longer passive collectors of data. Modern systems combine real-time ingestion, behavioural analytics, adaptive learning, and predictive intelligence. They contextualise data for specific environments and integrate directly with security operations. In practice, they function less like information feeds and more like anticipatory defence systems, helping security teams act before incidents turn into breaches.
Yet evaluation methods have remained stuck in an earlier era. Most traditional assessments focus on product breadth, feature sets, and market presence. These perspectives can be useful, but they do not tell you how a platform behaves when deployed. A vendor may score highly because it aggregates hundreds of intelligence feeds. On paper, that looks impressive. In reality, it may overwhelm security analysts with low-fidelity alerts and false positives. Another vendor may rank lower in a quadrant but offer sharper, more localised intelligence that provides a real operational edge in specific regions. Some platforms excel in North America but lose significant depth in Asia-Pacific because they do not track local threat actors or support language-specific dark web monitoring.
Evaluations often measure potential, not proof. That is the essence of the evaluation reality gap. There is a disconnect between how platforms are perceived on paper and how they perform in practice. This gap explains why organisations often chase the highest-ranked vendors, only to discover later that top of the chart does not always mean best fit. It leads to longer testing periods, delayed deployments, integration challenges, and, at times, expensive tools that never fully deliver because they were never the right match for the environment in the first place.
SPARK Plus was created to address this gap head-on. Developed by QKS Group, it is the first platform to combine structured analyst insight with verified user evidence. It is not an incremental tweak to how evaluations are done. It represents a shift in how decisions are made. Organisations no longer want vendor promises. They want evidence. They want to know not only who leads the market, but who works best for their specific context.
SPARK Plus brings together two types of intelligence that have traditionally existed in separate silos. On one side, it provides detailed analyst evaluations through the SPARK Matrix. These assessments benchmark vendors at a parameter level, covering capabilities such as data processing, enrichment quality, and integration maturity. On the other side, it includes verified user feedback drawn from actual deployments. This feedback captures enrichment speed, signal accuracy, localisation effectiveness, and how well the platform integrates with existing security workflows. When these two perspectives are combined, they provide a much clearer view of vendor performance.
The importance of context becomes obvious when you look at how different industries and regions use threat intelligence. A financial institution focuses on speed, fraud detection, and early tracking of threat actors. A healthcare organisation prioritises ransomware monitoring and third-party exposure visibility because downtime can have direct consequences for patient safety. Manufacturing companies look for intelligence that maps to supply chain risks and operational technology security. Geographical differences matter just as much. Asia-Pacific regions need language-specific threat intelligence and local actor coverage. Latin America faces ransomware collaboration networks. The Middle East and Africa often deal with targeted nation-state campaigns. None of this nuance fits cleanly into a quadrant chart, but it matters enormously when selecting the right platform.
SPARK Plus enables this kind of contextual evaluation. A security leader can compare vendors not just on global rankings, but on how they perform in a specific industry and region, based on real operational data. This shortens evaluation cycles, increases decision confidence, and leads to smarter platform selections that align with actual threat environments rather than generic benchmarks.
The move toward evidence-based cybersecurity decisions is already underway. Security leaders are no longer content to treat static rankings as a final answer. They want clarity they can trust. SPARK Plus does not replace analyst research. It strengthens it by grounding strategic assessments in operational reality. It closes the gap between what is promised and what is proven.
Digital Threat Intelligence has matured into a predictive and strategic defence capability. If the technology itself has evolved, then the way we evaluate it must evolve too. The evaluation reality gap will not close on its own. SPARK Plus represents a deliberate step toward more intelligent, evidence-based decision-making in cybersecurity. In a landscape where attackers are faster and more adaptive than ever, the clarity of our technology choices matters just as much as the tools themselves.

Introduction
QKS Group defines AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) as a platform that leverages big data, machine learning, advanced analytics, and AI to deliver actionable insights, enabling organizations to monitor, automate, and enhance IT operations for optimized service availability, uptime, and performance. The platform analyzes MELT (Metrics, Events, Logs, and Traces) and performance data from diverse systems, applications, and tools to provide holistic visibility into IT interdependencies.
Today's fast-paced digital landscape has witnessed AIOps transform from an exclusive innovation to an integrating factor for big entities with cloud-native, hybrid, and distributed environments. As the attention of the market has already been drawn to it, there is a rapid and widespread adoption of AIOps by organizations that aim to be predictive, not reactive, in problem resolution. With the increase in the level of infrastructure complexity, CIOs as well as IT heads are turning more and more to AIOps for business continuity, downtime minimization, and achieving operational intelligence at scale.
Vendors such as Splunk (Cisco), Dynatrace, ServiceNow, Datadog, and IBM are at the forefront of redefining this transformation. Each vendor is one of a kind as they blend observability, AI automation, and scalability to the enterprise. From Splunk’s deep observability integrations and IBM’s cognitive intelligence to Dynatrace’s Grail data lakehouse and ServiceNow’s predictive ITSM workflows, the AIOps landscape continues to expand, bridging performance analytics with business outcomes.
Problem Statement
Choosing the right AIOps platform has never been more difficult than it is today. With so many players in the space advertising "AI-powered operations" and "self-healing automation," decision-makers must take on the hard job of separating marketing hype from real value.
Analyst evaluations present structured ways to think through market position, but organizations frequently want to explore what spoke to top thinkers and users, end-users what was actually experienced in deployment, and then those practices lead back to measurable ROI. This creates what we call the trust and evaluation gap, though more importantly, where market intelligence structured analysis seems to fall short in competing against a real, lived experience.
For example, a vendor may excel in technology innovation, but it has not been tested in an enterprise environment or one that scales well. Or, users boast about a system's usability, but the system is not yet as analytically robust. Traditions analyst reports do not come close to conveying this level of nuance.
