George Lawrie, Vice President, Principal Analyst Serving Application Development & Delivery Professionals, Forrester Research, Inc. blogs, News From NRF, January 13, 2014
"Application development and delivery (AD&D) professionals in retail must contend with established categories of packaged apps for store operations, eCommerce, supply chain, and loyalty. But most packages hail from the pre-digital disruption era of mono-channel retail — store or eCommerce. AD&D pros must chart an application upgrade and integration course that delivers omni-channel consumer experiences despite the incompatibility of the package data models with new use cases such as click-and-collect or buy online, return in store. I've had a sneak preview of the new FUJITSU Retail Solution Market Place and I'm excited because it helps retailers to orchestrate the applications and data they already have to meet consumers' cross-channel expectations.”
David Concordel, Senior Vice President Global Retail, International Business, Fujitsu
“FUJITSU Retail Solution Market Place addresses the shift to the new consumerised world of retailing – one driven by customer urgency, convenience, item accessibility and customer service. Easy to integrate across borders, store models, existing technologies and with popular order-management solutions such as SAP, FUJITSU Market Place responds to change through its service-oriented architecture. Importantly, it also supports intelligence about the complete life of the order – regardless of how the order crosses multiple channels – enabling retailers to manage orders to save a sale, maximize revenue and keep customers happy.”
Rod Vawdrey, Corporate Executive Vice President Fujitsu Limited and President, International Business, Fujitsu

It’s a fitting legacy for Fujitsu, as this is by far the company’s most significant retail innovation to date, leveraging its commitment to the sector and incomparable retail heritage.”
