Hybrid Cloud To Meet Changing Demands
Many of our retail customers are taking advantage of our highly scalable hybrid cloud solutions to meet the demands of the changing retail landscape. These solutions allow you to quickly respond to business demands when the need arises, such as during promotional or seasonal spikes in traffic. These solutions also provide an agile and responsive service to respond to digital transformation requirements and the backup services you need for peace of mind.
To consistently deliver the exceptional experience your customers crave, in most cases, legacy systems just won’t cut it, whilst with a scalable cloud environment your systems, applications and data can all talk to each other with ease and allow your employees to share information real-time, both with customers in store and online.
SD-WAN Solutions
SD-WAN is a buzzword that has been on many IT directors' radar for a number of years, however very few businesses are using it to its full potential or for the right reason. When utilised correctly, SD-WAN can provide a number of benefits over MPLs networks such as local internet breakout, application prioritisation, load balancing at application level, and cost. The intelligent controls and reporting afforded by SD-WAN, together with security and continuing advancements means that it's a solution all retail businesses should at least consider. At FluidOne we partner with 3 market leading solutions to give you the best choice of the market and ensure we find a solution fit for your needs.
Unified Communications Solutions
Our market-leading UC solutions can help you to connect with customers on whatever means they choose. A true unified communications solution with enhanced omni-channel contact centre functionality will ensure your team is available via phone, chat, email and video conferencing with access to customer data at their fingertips to ensure meaningful interactions. Additional cloud-enabled features such as call-routing and natural language selection all help to make your customer service experience even more seamless. The more connected and forward-thinking your comms solutions, the more engaged and effective you will find that your employees are. Our market-leading solutions allow colleagues, wherever they are, to connect and support each other, whilst giving everyone full visibility of the current status of a project or customer requirement. This coupled with the automation of repetitive tasks will free up your people for more rewarding, revenue generating work.
Securing Against Increased Cyber Threats
Cyber security is now a key requirement for all sectors and an effective cyber strategy requires a proactive approach and sophisticated solutions. The retail industry, sadly, is a common target for cyber criminals with a number of retailers falling victim to a data breach in the last year. At FluidOne, we can ensure that your business remains secure with monitoring, detection, protection, response and training services to instill a cyber first mentality into your organisation.
As digital transformation and the need for an omnichannel retail experience has driven transformation across the industry, retail cyber security has become more vital and considerably more complex. At FluidOne we have invested in a dedicated cyber division run by some of the brightest minds in the industry to keep our customers a step ahead of the cyber criminals and deal with the evolving threat landscape.
