Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

The cross-over between physical and online retail is not just for innovators and techies. It is the way people shop. In a 30 day period spanning Christmas, 52% of Americans who have mobile phones (and who cares about the rest? ) used mobile phones to help them make buying decisions, according to research from Pew Internet. This is very significant. One of the biggest threats to physical retail stores is that shoppers do price, service, and delivery comparisons while in the shop.
