Independent Study of Customer Data Reveals 164 percent ROI, Hardware and Software Cost Savings Driven by NCR Technology

NCR Corporation, the leading technology provider for the retail industry, released findings from their commissioned Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study, conducted by Forrester Consulting.

“Creating the experience that customers expect today is a tall order for many retailers grappling with legacy systems”

Through NCR customer interviews and data aggregation, the TEI study found users of NCR Software Defined Store realized a 164 percent return on investment over three years, with most customers recouping their spend within six to 18 months. NCR Software Defined Store (SDS) is a key element of NCR’s next generation retail store architecture that supports retailers’ entire enterprise. It centralizes software and operating systems across a store so retailers can manage the store as a single touchpoint, rather than maintain and serve software on individual machines.

Forrester interviewed customers with experience using SDS across a large store estate. Before using SDS, the retailers had a hardware-centric, legacy IT infrastructure that was complex, lacked integration and was making it difficult to keep up with modern retail requirements to serve customers.
