It stands for &#8220;Product Information File&#8221; and it contains all approved corporate language in a single structured document.

The PIF ensures consistency and cuts down on the redundant process of re-writing product information.\u00a0Managers should not need to re-write the same messages over and over. The PIF provides approved, standardized language\u00a0that helps everyone feel confident they are talking about your products and services in a consistent way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step three: share it easily<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good Content Management System will allow greater sharing and participation within your organization and make it easy to re-purpose content across various delivery methods.
