Engineering Capabilities
The Pervasive Retailing Framework is as much about our breadth of execution capabilities as it is about architecture and tools. Realizing the promise of pervasive interoperability demands mastery of the full range of engineering disciplines (software, hardware, mobile devices, networking and managed services). Our core competency in each of these disciplines is proven in reference clients across the retailing market:
- Software Engineering – to build and/or integrate applications that enable all aspects of store operations with full interoperability between applications and devices, and between the enterprise and the store.
- Hardware Engineering – to integrate and deploy devices and systems that make it easy for consumers to shop wherever they want, whether at home, on the road, or in a traditional store setting.
- Mobile Engineering – to incorporate the latest hand-held devices and mobile phones so that retail personnel can better serve the shopper and give shoppers an enriched experience.
- Network Engineering – to assure the security and privacy of networking solutions that connect devices within the store, to the enterprise, to the Internet and, of course, to the shopper who wants answers and the ability to purchase in real time. It’s also important to interconnect the applications that service the devices, as well as move the increased volumes of detailed data throughout the enterprise.
- Lifecycle Services – to simplify and lower the cost of maintaining and supporting a wide range of in-store technologies from multiple vendors.
