Retailers were most interested in learning about mobility in retail in 2011, judging from the top 10 research reports they downloaded from the RIS News website.

 

In the three, five, seven and ten spots on the list were reports on various aspects of mobility, specifically: tablets, mobile POS and mobile commerce. The RIS News and Mobile Enterprise joint report "Mobility in Retail" covered the topic's broad spectrum, giving insight into mobile enterprise and workforce management, mobile security and in-store mobile solutions.

 

Retailers were also interested in the comprehensive studies RIS has become known for. The top spot was taken by the 2011 Retail Technology Trends Study and the sixth spot was taken by the 2011 RIS/IHL Store Systems Study.

 

In addition, retailers were hungry to explore their technology options, with both the 2010 and 2011 RIS Software LeaderBoard reports appearing in the second and eighth spots respectively.
