Josef Platil is a product owner and a published product data professional focused on Product Information Management (PIM). In his role he is responsible for systems and processes that keep product data consistent and trustworthy so they can be used further down the line.

He works with business colleagues, software developers, and enterprise process owners in need of long lasting data modeling, helping organizations design and review product data structures. His experience covers product ownership of data-heavy platforms, defining data models and attributes, establishing standards, and building a shared understanding of what product data actually means in practice.

Josef has worked with complex product portfolios where data is not just an add on, but the product itself. This includes environments where product data must integrate with multiple downstream systems and domain-specific requirements including regulatory obligations. His work emphasizes clarity and long-term maintainability of the data at hand.

Beyond hands-on product ownership, Josef is also a co-author of publication on Product Information Management, reflecting his interest in structured data, interoperability, and the role of standards in digital built environment.

He founded Pimcoder.com community in 2026 as a shared space for insights, and lessons learned from working with product data over time — written for product owners, developers, and data professionals who care about building solid foundations for digital information services.
