“The challenges of the pandemic have underlined the multiple benefits of modular, scalable cloud and microservice models”
It’s become common to say that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced retail to skip a decade, or at least a number of years, in its development.
However, the challenge of coronavirus is just a catalyst for a shift that was underway anyway, with the unpredictability of peak season, store closures and economic uncertainty already forcing retailers to make quick changes to their operations.
