Stephen Holmes, The Home Depot
Holmes discussed The Home Depot’s partnership with Microsoft and Motorola, implementing handheld mobile devices in stores. The next-generation touchscreen devices handle inventory management, associate-to-associate communications and product lookup, among other functions. In 2010, the retailer distributed 34,000 devices into the stores. Microsoft supplies the Embedded 8 platform for the devices; and Motorola provides the hardware.
