Retail’s Digital Transformation
The Rise of Cloud Computing
Cloud technology is helping propel digital transformation and expansion of new capabilities forward. While cloud adoption in retail has long been underway, tremendous growth yet lies ahead. According to a recent research study by Gartner, 51% of IT budgets will go to cloud-based systems development and operations by 2025.
For retailers, this mass migration to the cloud has become imperative to meet scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency needs. If implemented and utilized correctly, secure and flexible cloud platforms offer substantial cost savings, access to critical data, and a wealth of operational benefits across varied functions of your organization.
