Learn how an Enterprise-Wide Social Computing environment can aid collaboration and foster innovation and growth for geographically dispersed, multi-product-line retailers.


Not only are retailers faced with the current economic downturn, but retailers continue to tackle with well-documented high turnover rates; rapidly changing products and prices; a younger workforce; and a large, distributed work environment.

Could something as simple as an enterprise-wide social computing environment solve this and much more?
