Digital workplaces from oneclick™ for the retail sector
On a growth track with modern and secure branch IT.
Business drivers and industry trends
E-commerce and online shopping are further on the rise, which increases the pressure on traditional retailers. The focus is therefore on standardisation and cost reduction in order to operate the most efficient sites possible. In addition, IT in retail must function reliably. Security of customer data is also a constant issue, as hacker attacks and data breaches are common.
