What’s the Cutting Edge of Retail Technology?

“Companies are turning to software as a service for its cost savings and simplicity.”- Information Week (October 2008)

Gartner Research says that by 2011 early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and

instead purchase 40% of their IT infrastructure as a service and

that “As Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) becomes

common, cloud computing will take off, thus untying

applications from specific infrastructure.

Software as a Service Cloud Computing

Software as a Service (SAAS) refers to a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet.

Cloud Computing refers to internet-based software and technology (The “Cloud” represents the Internet).

What can SaaS do for retail?In the Retail World SaaS can be found in many aspects of an operation. Some of the reasons that SMB’s turn to SaaS: Faster deployment times Lower up front fees for license and infrastructure Ability to address vanilla business processes allowing operators to focus resources on differentiation Flexible and responsive to changing needs Standardized operating processes across the enterprise More reliability than outdated “backroom” scenarios Allows for centralized remote management of several locations simultaneously

Optimize Customer Relationships

“You say you provide customer service, but I’ve been shopping with you for years and every time I go to your store or website, you haven’t got a clue who I am. How much do I have to buy before you get it right? If you really cared about my business, you’d get to know me.”

Gain customer loyalty Establish strong relationships

with your customers Personalize your customer service Establish a single customer view Understand your customer’s value Provide targeted enhanced

services Partnering with customers
