NEW YORK, NY, Jan 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
HP (NYSE: HPQ) today unveiled new offerings designed to help retailers
create an exciting, seamless customer experience across multiple store
touch points.
HP is offering National Retail Federation convention attendees a
firsthand look at the company's wide range of retail-focused products and
services, including point-of-sale (POS) and self-service solutions,
digital signage, analytics software, managed print services and mobility
solutions. These solutions are supported by more than a dozen partners
that combine their solutions and expertise with HP technology.
The offerings are being showcased as part of HP's Seamless Customer
Experience demonstration in booth 431 at the convention. The
demonstration is HP's representation of an ideal store environment where
every retail touch point -- be it the point of sale, a digital display or
a retail-ready tablet or kiosk -- engages with the customer in a
consistent and integrated way.
"Many retailers are working toward creating a much more interesting
environment for shoppers with the goal of improving and differentiating
the entire shopping experience," said Ray Carlin, vice president and
general manager, Retail Solutions Global Business Unit, HP. "HP is
becoming the provider of choice for retailers that want to implement this
seamless customer experience with affordable, leading-edge technology
backed by best-in-class software partners."
