About the Retail Use Cases for Enterprise Ebook
Sales are expected to grow by 3.5 percent in 2017 and e-commerce continues to make massive gains with an expected growth of 15 percent this year (Kiplinger, 2017). Tied to that, data volumes within the retail industry are growing and the pace of that growth is accelerating.
Sensor data, log files, social media, transaction data and other sources have emerged, bringing with them a volume, velocity and variety of data that far outstrip traditional data warehousing approaches. Proactive retail organizations harness these new sources in innovative ways to achieve unprecedented value and competitive advantage in an industry space.
