With increasing amounts of data being generated by record online shopping sales, more retailers than ever are turning to the cloud for scalable solutions that meet IT budgets. To discuss the developing role that cloud is playing in the retail space, Adapt has announced its first ’Cloud in Context’ webinar. The live event, entitled “Creating outstanding customer experiences: the cloud in context" offers views and experiences from Made.com, the Gondola Group, and Smiffy’s. It will commence at 13:30 GMT, on Thursday, February 6, 2014.

The customer experience webinar will provide a platform to explore the role of cloud computing within the retail sector. Moderated by Kevin Linsell, Adapt’s Head of Service Development, the event will include Jonathan Howell, CTO, Made.com; Najeeb Ahmad, Group Infrastructure Manager, Gondola Group and Darryl Wadhams, IT Manager, RH Smith & Sons (Smiffy’s) as panelists.

The debate will focus on the key IT challenges faced by the retail sector. It will explore the role of e-commerce platforms with reference to seasonality and demand, and consider the role cloud computing plays in driving the sector forward. The panellists will also be participating in a Q&A session following the discussion.
