The retail sector faces significant challenges, driven by fluctuating consumer confidence and significant changes in spending habits and shopping methods.

• Growth in sales is difficult, forcing retailers to focus on customer retention, brand loyalty and improvements in margins
• Successes in e-commerce can be delivered with advanced and aligned business processes  that ensure a seamless customer experience
• In the global environment online, brands need to be flexible and appreciate local cultures, customs and languages in order to meet customer expectations
• Mobile-commerce and social-commerce offer potential but only for those retailers who understand these technologies and how their customers use them
