As a first year exhibitor at the National Retail Federation (NRF) Expo in New York City earlier this month we were unsure of what to expect. This year was NRF’s 100th anniversary Big Show and it certainly lived up to its name. Hundreds of vendors gathered to showcase the latest in retail trends and technologies.
Nimbo was fortunate to have Microsoft Azure experts working with us in our booth to demonstrate our Cloud Computing solutions for retail. We focused on Point-of-Sale (POS) in the cloud, Business Intelligence 2.0 and Supply Chain Management in the cloud.
As expected a major trend at the show was mobility. We saw mobile POS systems, mobile marketing solutions, mobile payment systems, mobile shopping apps…. you name it. This trend proves that the consumer drives the market and retailers are racing to keep up. It is becoming more apparent than ever that the cloud is a logical tool for adapting to this new retail environment.
We spoke with several CIOs from well-known retailers who were interested in POS in the cloud. A major challenge for them is developing a seamless inventory management process. Using POS in the cloud retailers have access to real-time inventory information which facilitates better decision making. Over 50,000 retailers in Europe are currently running their POS systems in the cloud on the Windows Azure Platform. Read the Case Study.
For the show we developed an interactive shopping game called “Beat the Cloud” using Microsoft Pivot. Beat the Cloud gave NRF attendees a chance to interact with Pivot in a fun environment. Most players were surprised that even they could use the Business Intelligence tool without becoming overwhelmed.
The show gave Nimbo an opportunity to come face to face with some of retail’s major players and better understand where retail is headed in 2011. We were also able to hear what types of cloud solutions will prove most valuable in a rapidly changing climate.

John Shaw, CEO, Nimbo, was referenced as the Cloud Computing expert in a blog article written on ITKnowledgeExchange.com. The blog is on the disillusionment theory of Cloud Computing.
John’s expertise in the article, is shown below:
John Shaw of Nimbo predicted we’re in the first wave of cloud adoption, where the majority of people trust their data to email and document cloud options. The second and third phases will include SaaS apps, SAP, BI and data that enterprises want to store outside of the firewall to share with partners. Now that cloud computing is descending the path away from its puffed-up and misunderstood image, perhaps we can move on to the second and third waves.
