“The challenge for retailers is to provide the same level of customer experience in the store as the consumer is finding online. The same is true for retail banking, restaurants and hotels,” said Tom Nix, CEO of Scala.

BT is already a provider of Scala-based solutions supporting customers and delivers content services, from media production through to managed multinational end-to-end support, in various sectors.

Research shows that digital technologies influence 36 percent or $1.1 trillion of in-store sales.

“Retailers must blend digital and physical worlds so that customers have the same experience however and wherever they shop,” said Hubertus von Roenne, vice president, Global Industry Practices, BT.
