Report Highlights


As the growth in eRetailing continues, retailers are increasingly looking to offer a multi-channel approach. Customer expectations are high, however, as retailers refine their offerings to offer a seamless and fully-integrated experience. SOA will need to be deployed to provide this level of service and remain competitive. The roll out a multi-channel offering brings with it a variety of business challenges that will need to be overcome. While SOA may provide the answers, it brings with it more challenges, both at a technical-level and an organization-level. SOA provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for multi-channel retailing compared to traditional approaches. While SOA uptake has been slow in the retail sector, growth is set to rise, and retail SMBs could represent a sizeable portion of the SOA market size if vendors can adapt their go-to-market strategies accordingly.
