Why CNET Channel DataSource?
Through our experience, expertise and global partnerships with major
distributors and industry vendors, CNET Channel's DataSource solution provides
the most complete catalog of technology product information in the world.
DataSource collects more data from more vendors and supports more languages
than any other resource, and can quickly deliver it at a lower cost and greater
level of detail than any internal team.
DataSource delivers this structured, categorized, and normalized product
information more reliably and cost-effectively than any alternative. Companies
that manage product catalogs with internal resources find that the process of
collecting and maintaining the vast amount of data required by their customers
is very costly and prone to error – with data coming at different times, in
various levels of detail, from numerous vendor sources, and in disparate data
formats. Often, companies find that the information they collect is
inconsistent and incomplete - and as a result, their catalog is ineffective or
even problematic for their customers. Over time, these companies end up
spending more money for less complete and lower-quality data than DataSource
could provide.
This powerful solution can help you:

of 10,000s of SKUs
