Reach New & Existing Customers Across All Platforms 

Please join Oracle and Platinum Partner Bluenog as we discuss how the increase in eCommerce shopping has opened the doors for new opportunities within the retail industry. Consumer expectations are rising as well as the competition. Today’s consumer has a collection of resources to assist them in their shopping experience.  Before walking into a store, a typical consumer has done their research to find the best pricing, review ratings from other consumers, and located any applicable promotions. By using your data and management systems to your advantage you can stay connected to your customers, utilize your data to scale, and optimize your systems to run more efficiently while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. In order to improve your brand awareness and revenue, you need to develop a business model to ensure a consistent consumer experience across all platforms. 

Common Challenges in Retail:

  • Integrated Big Data & Relationship Marketing
  • Omni-Channel Retail Strategies
  • Integrating Mobility & Secure Cloud Infrastructure
  • New Technology Innovation & Thought Leadership 

By using your data and management systems to your advantage you can stay connected to your customers, utilize your data to scale, and optimize your systems to run more efficiently while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership.
