As a technology company, Oracle is always looking for new ways to bring value to our clients. Sometimes the best ideas are to improve upon what’s already available. Take the bicycle for example. Its origins are disputed but early adaptations look aesthetically similar to what you and I would recognize today. But the first versions of the bicycle are missing essential components we would deem necessary today. Through revisions and updates the modern bicycle eventually gave way...

We all know that customer satisfaction has a strong influence on retaining customers and driving loyalty online. Studies have suggested correlations between brands with higher customer satisfaction ratings achieving higher trends in stock market performance. Other research has estimated that every customer you keep represents at least 3 that you don’t have to attract and that the cost of acquiring a new customer is higher then keeping an existing one. Digital commerce...

The holidays can account for as much as 30% of retailers’ total sales. To say this is an important time of year would be an understatement. In 2016 the National Retail Federation predicted US holiday sales (that is, in November and December) would be up 3.6% to $655.8 billion. Bain & Company largely agreed with this number, placing its own prediction between 3.5% and 3.9%. These numbers were somewhat encouraging. Selling in an “up economy” is certainly easier, but 2016 wasn’t...

Millennials and Baby Boomers differ vastly in their shopping behaviors, yet they also demonstrate strikingly similar buying values. In a digital age wherein the power and the money of America’s largest generations influence ecommerce revenue performance, the challenge for retailers is to maintain awareness of the range of shopper expectations and accommodate for ever-changing needs. The first step in attracting, winning, and retaining Millennial and Baby Boomer shoppers is...

If you’ve been in B2B a while, you know how disruptive technology and process innovations can be. You’ve also seen that business models are changing across almost all the major vertical markets. Disruption happens like that. One year, you have solid market share, and the next you’re fighting for existence against some startup whose bootstrapped an online store and has a vision for domination selling directly to consumers. Warby Parker, for example, is upsetting the near...
