Editor's Notes
Differences by segment
This is the solution I wanted to discuss. For the first time, there is a way to help significantly improve your supply chain efficiency, improve your bottom line profits, and improve customer loyalty all at the same time. This solution integrates into and supplements your existing infrastructure, and helps add value across the enterprise, and extends the enterprise to both suppliers and customers. It consists of three major modules – or portals. A customer portal, and enterprise or retailer “portal”, and a supplier portal.
This research was conducted in late 2007 and published in 2008 as a white paper available on our IBM web site. IDC’s retail unit, Global Retail Insights, studied the factors affecting the cost of owning and operating POS for 3 different retail segments, discovering differences between the segments. They quantified key elements of the TCO for POS in these segments and show what makes an effective TCO analysis in today’s world. I will show you today the major results of this research. Insert for non-US audiences: The principles of TCO that IDC discussed are worldwide. The numeric calculations relied upon U.S.A. data for things like labor costs and power costs.
