National Retail Federation Show (The Big Show)
I'll be at NRF show in New York next week. It is the largest retail show where more 15,000 people expected to attend the show. Highlight of this year's show is Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer will be keynoting the event. I look forward to seeing the latest in retail and learning from others. I'll be at Microsoft booth and will be showcasing some of cool technologies from Microsoft. I feel this year the focus of the retail world will be on following key areas:
- Multi-channel retailing
- Channel integration
- Service Oriented Architecture
- Software as a Service
- Mobile commerce
There are some cool technologies in some of these areas from Microsoft that are worth checking out. For example the CardSpace, Vista and Office Business Applications platform. These are some powerful technologies that will have huge impact on the retail industry.
If you are going to be at NRF, please stop by Microsoft booth and we can certainly chat.
