WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

​Retail organizations have seen dramatic—and disruptive—changes in how they serve their markets over the last five years. COVID-19, coupled with consumer’s growing demands for omni-channel buying options, have supercharged retailers’ need for new technologies that manage complex systems across finance, marketing, distribution, supply-chain and payments.

But how can CFOs and CIOs determine which technology investments are necessary, and which are just nice to have? This interactive webinar covers the benefits new technology can deliver and the key metrics to determine ROI on your investment, along with:

• Discussion of best practices in prioritizing retail sector technology investments
• Demonstration of how enterprise software independent third-party support can free up the necessary resources to make future technology investments
• Real-life examples of companies’ technology transformation journeys—and how they reduced costs by outsourcing IT support
