Our 2016 Retail Tech Spending Report left no doubt that this would be a big year for mobile device adoption, wireless networking infrastructure improvements, and the advance of cloud computing. Will those trends continue into 2017? We’ll need a few minutes of your time to find out.
I know, you’re constantly being poked and prodded, cold-called and interrogated, e-mailed, stalked, and hustled, and occasionally wined and dined for intel into your retail technology purchasing plans. Such is the life of a retail tech decision maker in an extremely crowded and competitive solutions provider landscape.
This request is a bit different though. The November/December 2016 issue of Innovative Retail Technologies (formerly Integrated Solutions For Retailers) will feature a special report on retailers’ systems and operations spending plans for 2017. This will be the eighth iteration of the annual benchmark report that chronicles the real-world advance of the mission-critical and innovative technology that makes the retail world go ‘round. To make sure it’s an accurate depiction, we’d like some data for the report from retail professionals like you.
