11. Four components of mobile for retail
" Stage 1 – Store Managers
" Stage 2 – Store Associates
" Stage 3 – Mobile POS
" Stage 4 – Engaging Consumers
12. Mobile for associates is exploding
" 74% of specialty stores to deploy by the
next 6 months (74% of our survey)
" Most are tablets and phones/iPod Touch
" But rumors of the death of ruggedness in
retail are overblown
" Growth of 6.7% CAGR next 5 yrs
" Question is “How Rugged is Enough
2012 IHL Mobile POS Study
13. Apple leads now, but is this forever?
" CEOs want iPad, CIO’s have wanted
Windows
" iOS currently 70% market share planned
" Android 47%
" CIO’s wanted Windows but didn’t like the
options – features, speed, price
" Windows 8 just getting started
" Has the Surface Pro Pricing hurt Windows 8?

15. POS Is Under Great Pressure
" Square is opportunity and threat
" Expanding the number of card points
" Replacing POS
" Among Tier 1/Tier 2, impact is quite
stunning.
" 25% reduction in some segments.
" Mobile must be an option
" 4 year processing agreements deal breakers.
16. Final Thoughts
" Mobile for store associates is the single largest
trend since the Internet at store level.
" You must embrace it, and offer a POS solution
that does not have a 4 year payment agreement.
" The core POS market is changing and much
faster than we think.
" The mobile trend is being driven by the C-Suite
on down.
" Apple envy is very real and a powerful driver.
17. " Mobile POS: The First Real Test
" Consumer Mobile: The End Of The Store As We Know It
" To BYOD or Not BYOD? The Retailer’s Enterprise
