Riverbed®, The Digital Performance Company™, will showcase a set of retail-focused digital performance solutions at NRF 2019, January 13 -15 in New York City, to enable retailers to further optimize their online and in-store channels, and to stay competitive by rapidly deploying digital services, boosting same-store profits, and improving the overall customer shopping experience while cutting back on operational costs.

Digital transformation continues to disrupt the retail industry as modern consumers agree that a positive online digital shopping experience, in addition to price, is essential to their loyalty in continuing shop at a specific retailer. Today’s consumer demands an always-on, high-performing experience, that is both seamless and accessible across all available shopping channels— from online to mobile to brick-and-mortar. Retailers around the globe have large growth opportunities in ecommerce environments, compelling them to invest in new digital capabilities. Riverbed will demonstrate digital performance solutions that enable rapid delivery of digital services and expansion of retail locations (including pop-up stores) and to optimize all IT channels with increased agility, performance, visibility and reliability to ensure POS connectivity, security and business continuity at stores. Riverbed will also showcase how retailers can manage and monitor the customer’s digital shopping experience and proactively identify and solve issues before they ever impact the customer.
