Digital transformation is continuing to disrupt the retail industry as new entrants attempt to create new customer channels at scale. As retailers are moving IT to the cloud, they must adapt to online channels and an omni-presence to stay competitive in an ever-evolving industry where consumers are using websites and mobile apps to access content. Customers are demanding an always-on experience, that is both seamless and accessible from anywhere, regardless of location or device. Retailers around the globe have large growth opportunities in ecommerce environments, compelling them to invest in new digital capabilities. Riverbed will demonstrate cloud performance solutions that give retailers the technology they need to optimize all IT channels with increased agility, performance, visibility and reliability.
