CRN Channel Forecast: The detail in retail

clock • 1 min read

There is endless possibility in the retail space for the channel, it is just about knowing where to look, says Emerson Network Power's Simon Blake

The retail trade is going through hugely changing times due to consumer adaptation of mobile technology for purchasing habits.

This gives the savvy retailer the opportunity to harness technology to enhance their business and provide them with new channel to make money.

This also provides resellers the same opportunity to support retailers in preparing their business technologically. With the emphasis very much on customer experience, retailers need the channel to guide them on the best technologies to invest in to make shopping unforgettable for their customers.

Find out in this sponsored Q&A with Emerson Network Power's head of EMEA marketing, Simon Blake, what the biggest challenges are facing retail and what technology the savvy retailer should be investing in, and why this is an opportunity for resellers.

For an interactive experience on how Emerson Network Power can support retailers, with video, preparedness quiz, application examples, and featured technologies, visit the dedicated website.
