Microsoft Smarter Retailing Initiative Supported By More Than 20 Leading Companies

Microsoft Smarter Retailing Initiative Supported By More Than 20 Leading Companies: "Today at the National Retail Federation's (NRF) 93rd Annual Convention & Expo, more than 20 leading companies announced their support for Microsoft Corp.'s Smarter Retailing Initiative (SRI), a comprehensive solutions framework for enabling the next generation of retail innovation. The Smarter Retailing Initiative focuses on three critical areas, Smarter Shopping, Smarter Selling and Smarter Operations, reflecting Microsoft's vision that business value will emerge at the boundaries of the retail enterprise, where retailers interact with customers and suppliers. With additional investment in core systems that support those innovations, retailers will be able to significantly transform and differentiate the customer experience. "

I wonder if this is aligned with the Microsoft Business Framework initiative...
