DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Weak consumer spending; saturated markets; increased consumers demands for service and lower prices; and intense competition has put significant strain on Retail bottom lines and growth avenues. Such low margins force the Retailers to save costs across the operations, including IT, which is vital for the success of every strategic endeavor--be it enhancing customer experience, customer loyalty, or cross-channel integration.

Reluctantly, IT budgets are also shrinking. Thus sustaining a cost-effective, efficient, and customer-centric IT function is a priority for every Retail leader.

The Retail industry faces quite a few IT challenges--e.g., hundreds of discrete locations, numerous applications, and diverse technology infrastructure and systems. The IT function needs to integrate various disjointed applications, including store-based point-of-sale, supply chain, and human resource management with their core systems. In these context, rational utilization of technology is important to achieve customer loyalty with clusters of customers across the store, online, and catalog channels.

This presentation highlights 4 efficiency and effectiveness levers that Retail CIOs can use to improve IT capabilities, drive IT efficiency, achieve cost reduction, and secure considerable differential advantage. The levers include:

1. Strategic Sourcing
2. Application & Infrastructure Simplification
3. Demand Management
4. Lean IT Organization

The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

Through subscription to this invaluable site of a plethora of topics that are key and crucial to consulting, I have been able to exceed expectations and deliver quality advice and solutions to my clients. The quality and expertise of the authors are exemplary and gives me great confidence to use as part of my service offerings.

I highly recommend this company for any consultant wanting to apply international best practice standards in their service offerings. "

Flevy has matured and the quality and quantity of the library is excellent. Lastly the price charged is reasonable, creating a win-win value for the customer, Flevy and the various authors. This is truly a service that benefits the consulting industry and associated clients. Thanks for providing this service. "

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)
