Discover what key questions need to be answered in order to select the right deployment model based on an organization's multichannel strategy and overall business objectives. The answers to these questions will point the way to the retailer's optimal deployment model.
B2C Multichannel commerce today presents a classic good news/bad news situation. The good news is easy to see: digital sales channels, including online, mobile commerce and the emerging area of social retailing, continue to be growth areas, even in a still-shaky economic climate.

While it is true that each has its own benefits, ultimately the retailer's business model and its goals should be the determining factors.
