“Despite massive amounts of data that retailers have amassed, the data are often locked away in siloed legacy systems that make it nearly impossible to make timely, data-driven decisions,” said Professor V. “Seenu” Srinivasan, Adams Distinguished Professor of Management, Emeritus, Stanford University in a statement. “I see the need for real-time based software technologies to survive and thrive by combining external market signals with internal data, and leveraging modern data analytic methods to identify growth opportunities and prescribe better merchandising decisions.”
