fast-growing convenience retail sub-vertical. Its investments in
loyalty, convenience, and hospitality provide the assets to orchestrate
differentiating customer experience across multiple retail sub-verticals
and to respond to the changing retail environment.”
The report continues: “It also scored well on customer self-service,
store-within-store functionality, and international deployment
capabilities. NCR leads the field in terms of its ability to influence
and adhere to standards, in addition to its vision and massive installed
base. NCR would also appeal to retailers looking for a single vendor to
manage applications and service globally and to manage legacy store
estate.”
“Retailers are seeking platforms that will provide them not only with
omnichannel readiness, but the flexibility to adapt to the future of
payments and the Internet of Things,” said Michael Bayer, president, NCR
Retail Solutions. “NCR has built its portfolio of point of service
offerings with the future in mind, and, with our introduction this year
of NCR Retail ONE commerce hub, we are making omnicommerce readiness
easier than ever before.”

from NCR, its partners and third parties that can be easily and
seamlessly deployed. The open nature of the new ecosystem of
