Using Shared Technology to Accelerate Speed
International Retail Chain
Quality, quantity and selection are critical factors for retail success. Consumers want options — the more there is to browse, the more they’ll find to buy.

Doing it with several partners — marketers, merchants, agencies and management — hurts speed and agility.
