Whether or not a company selects applications to be in the cloud or not depends on the application's use. Some companies have a real time requirement to analyze data from multiple sources. This implies a client side tool. Others have a greater need to move workload to a different...

It could work. It depends on the items. I don't see people using it to buy a pair of pants, but perhaps socks and other items that people would just pick up. But if they're ordering it online beforehand, then why not? It's just more convenient than what Walmart...

My daughter is earning a masters in food science. I doubt Dr. Miller has much education in this space. Either way, he's entitled to his opinion. I'm amazed that he would resort to name calling when Mackey has obviously built a successful business (regardless of Miller's belief).

In addition, it's...

I agree with Ben. This won't effect online sales. However, this is just another way for government to increase taxes. They continue to increase taxes and chalk it up to being "fair." Bottom line is if there is a way to justify increasing taxes and convince the masses that...

I think this is a poorly worded survey. Of course in-store operations are most important. However, it's business intelligence combined with the actual staff the provide information on how to optimize layouts, and improve effectiveness.

RFID is a game changer, but not just for inventory control. NFC (Near Field Communication) builds upon RFID technology and will take the in store experience to a new level. Shoppers will be paying their bill simply by waving their mobile device. The other big game changer will be...

A&F can target who they want. I agree with Cathie that Jeffries comments were too blunt. Jeffries' target audience are young, skinny, teens with money. But he seems to rely on their nagging to get mom to buy their clothes. What Jeffries must have forgotten is mom is seeing...

This is interesting because a few years ago, a Walmart went in about a block from the dollar store by my mom's house. I wondered what would happen to the dollar store. My mom told me it's even more crowded than before. She goes to Walmart, but she also...

This seems like a broad suggestion that cannot be applied across independents. It's also an old question that small independents have struggled with for years. It depends on where the retailer I'd located, who their customers are and a slew of other factors. The key is, they have to...
