Events Webinar Speaker Stephen Peckous

Stephen Peckous has spent twenty years on the side of the table where the problem actually lives. At One Source Communications he owned senior customer success and account relationships through the industry's move to cloud. At Hyster-Yale, a global lift truck manufacturer, he went from dealer integration to product management across multiple verticals to running product information for the business. He knows what messy product data costs a manufacturer because he was the one accountable for it. He was an Inriver customer before he was an Inriver employee.

Events Webinar The Confidence Gap

Most companies believe their product data operations are in good shape. In a 2026 benchmark of 405 manufacturers and distributors, Inriver found that 117 organizations rated themselves fully ready for AI-driven commerce. When tested against operational evidence, not self-reported confidence, zero cleared the bar. This session, presented by Inriver, unpacks why the gap between what leaders believe and what their operations show is so wide, and so consistent, across company size and maturity.
