What We Learned About Retail Experiential Operations at the 2023 NRF Big Show

This IDC Perspective discusses how, despite an anticipated recession and continued disruption from global events, retailers and vendors came to the 2023 NRF Big Show ready to celebrate the ways that technology has transformed retail since 2019. With 10 analysts onsite, IDC covered 160 meetings, gathering insights into the types of problems retailers are hoping to solve in the coming year.This document also covers the technology we saw at NRF 2023 that optimizes and automates operation in stores, with an emphasis on frictionless customer experience, workforce empowerment, and the essential components of the digitized store. Technology investment continues to make sense for retailers despite economic conditions, as modernization and automation in IT management, business processes, and contextualized engagement will reduce costs and drive growth. "Technology investment continues to make sense for retailers despite economic conditions, as modernization and automation in IT management, business processes, and contextualized engagement will reduce costs and drive growth. We saw evidence at the NRF Big Show that technology vendors are ready to help retailers ride the waves of market volatility expected in 2023 — from customer experience tools that power frictionless interactions to workforce experience tools that help employees fulfill a purpose, not just fill a shelf, to hardware and software that form the connective tissue of the digitized store," said Leslie Hand, group vice president, Retail and Financial Insights at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
