About Retail Rumblings

In this blog I will share some of the interesting trends that are driving technology investments by retailers.  My focus will be on multi-channel retailing, eCommerce and supply chain.  I will discuss the strategic planning and vision that is being demonstrated by the leaders in the industry and also the over-hyped technology investments that retailers sometimes make. 

What I will discuss here is my opinion based on experience as a solution provider in the Retail Industry and my review of current news, events and strategies that analysts, technology providers and retailers are evangelizing.

I hope you enjoy this blog and please feel free to comment!
