Why an Omni-channel Perspective?

“The world’s largest

store in every pocket” -

McKinsey

“I can’t overstate how mobile is changing how we interact with our consumers, we have to embrace

these changes” – Joel Anderson, CEO of Walmart

“We will continue to see a convergence of the digital and physical world. Those who conquer that trend will be market leaders.” - John Phillips, SVP Customer Supply Chain and Logistics, Pepsico, Inc.

“Starting with the Internet and moving into today’s connected mobile devices, people have more information and purchasing

choices than ever before. Customers use technology in every facet of their lives,

including in how they shop. This is increasingly disruptive to retailers.”

- Mike McNamara, CIO, Target

“Omni-channel presence is delivering a much more seamless experience all across the board in

one clear message” - Karen Katz, CEO of Neiman Marcus Group

“Digital has been a catalyst for everything

in the company” - Angela Ahrendts, CEO of Burberry,
