retail IT support
Market-leading IT support for retailers.
Improve customer experiences, ensure high-performance workloads remain online, and never miss a transactional moment.
Get ahead of competition with retail IT support.
Disruption, customer demand, a global pandemic – change is nothing new to retail. Critical to retailers is agility required to quickly adapt, which makes all the difference in a competitive marketplace that’s rapidly going ‘online’.
The last few years have been economically challenging for retailers with increasingly more customer experiences happening online. Physical retail stores rely on digital infrastructure, where employees need to be paid on time, customer data needs tightly securing, and every transaction counts.
After decades of partnering with many global retailers and renowned brands found in every home, CSI’s retail specialists deliver market-leading, cost-effective, highly secure and integrated IT support. Whether that’s to a global store with a wide digital footprint needing cybersecurity best practice, or a brand trying to reduce time to value from embracing digital technologies, we understand the unique challenges that retailers face.
Nowadays, retail technology trends are pushing towards powerful digital customer engagements and e-commerce to safer workplaces and more agile operations and supply chains. More and more, retailers want to onboard new technologies without the IT burdens to unlock more resilient business models.

Challenge #1
What’s your stance on sustainability?
Today, more consumers say environmental responsibility is extremely important when deciding on a purchase – sustainability is being factored into their financial decision – and this trend is expected to intensify.
Retailers can meet this opportunity through their own sustainability strategies and one of the most immediate approaches is where IT simply uses less. Optimising cloud and data centre resources doesn’t mean a compromise between application performance and reducing carbon footprint. Application resource management (ARM) tools can dynamically allocate precisely the right level of capacity according to demand. By reducing unnecessary use of resources in real-time not only saves costs, but also improves the long-term the energy consumption profile in the data centre.

Challenge #2
Is hybrid cloud the missing piece in your business?
Building a hybrid cloud IT infrastructure is a key component in digital transformation for retailers wanting to be more agile than their competitors. Combining the best of private and public clouds gives organisations the ability to take advantage of all environments, with some better suited or more cost-effective for certain workloads. Retailers looking for digital transformation and a secure, open environment can move their existing workloads between on-premises or hosted infrastructure and the best possible cloud environment without business disruption.

Challenge #3
Harnessing AI tools for value.
Creating great customer experiences depends on understanding buying preferences and those insights are based on accurate consumer data. Collecting data is one thing but being able to act confidently on that data is another matter – it is wasted effort to send an offer to customers that have no interest in the products. Faced with inefficient data management, many retailers are turning to AI platforms to extract value and win business from the competition.
More companies are adopting AI technology from the same time a year ago. From making product recommendations to cost-effective supply chain management, real-world applications of AI can make a significant difference.
