The Evolution of Retail Technology
How did we get here?
The evolution of retail technology
has taken more than 100 years and
evolved to where we are today
because of a lack of technology 45
years ago! Networks were not
evolved – they were unreliable,
slow and expensive – so a
decentralized store technology
model was created. Networks can
now support a centralized model to
enable real-time retail and
personalize the customer
experience.
Banking in the 90stransformed itselfthrough networks –ATMs were born.Now it is the retailindustry’s turn…advanced networks willcompletely transformretail as we know it!

MAC Address
“A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier
assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical
network segment.”
Answer: There can be
multiple MAC
addresses per
customer – a new MAC
address is recognized
when she opts-in
again.

Additional Concerns
• Privacy
• How much is too much information?
• With customer data comes a responsibility in how the
data is managed and utilized; example of store
knowing a teen is pregnant before the parents based
on purchase history
• Security extends beyond the credit card to include all
customer data (It is not just PCI but also PII)
• Retailer mobile apps might not always be compelling enough
to install and use
• Offers need to be quick and convenient – can’t make it
longer to collect discount than it’s worth
• Legislation
• What about when legislation catches up with
technology (privacy/protection)
• Stronger privacy laws in California and Europe
• Expensive alternatives; can’t do it all, so need a sound
strategy around what will produce results and the best
customer experience

Wrap-up
17
Real-time retail changes everything and puts the customer at the
center of the universe, which means retailers need to sell to the next
generation of customers, not just today’s customer.
We are at a strategic inflection point where the network is taking
center stage. The network enables an integrated world where
consumers drive self-checkout on their smart phone, interact with
their friends in real-time on purchase decisions and receive discounts
and personalized pricing as they are shopping to create a cohesive
customer experience. Your brand is unique and your customer
experience should be tailored to your brand and the needs of your
customer.
