This is a relaxed and collaborative group session, designed to encourage open discussion and shared learning among retailers. We encourage you to join from a quiet space where you can take part in the conversation, and if possible, keep your camera on to help create an engaging and interactive atmosphere.
Join IMRG and fellow industry leaders for a relaxed, informal discussion on re-platforming. On Wednesday 1st October you will get the chance to learn from your peers’ experiences and the lessons they’ve gained along the way. Special guest experts will also share guidance on selecting the right platforms and ensuring a smooth transition.
As our final virtual roundtable before peak season, this session will also feature insights into total market performance and steps for optimising results. We’ll share the latest data before opening up the floor for an interactive discussion on re-platforming among retailers.
Patrick Osborne from QVC International will be joining us to share lessons learnt from re-platforming from multiple legacy softwares to a single provider across five international markets. He’ll cover vendor selection, internal training, IT and business input and ways of working with the selected vendor.
Before the session start to think of these key questions we aim to cover:
- What business goals or challenges are leading you (or led you) to think about re-platforming?
- When evaluating platforms, what criteria have you used (or would you use) to make the right choice?
- For those who’ve re-platformed: what was the biggest challenge, and for those considering it: what do you anticipate being most difficult?
- What results have you seen (or do you expect to see) after replatforming?
- What’s one piece of advice you’d give (or hope to receive) about approaching a re-platforming journey?
Alongside Patrick Osborne, we’ll be joined by special guests from Optimizely, Bloomreach, and PXP, who will share practical advice and their top tips for a successful re-platforming journey.
