With an art collection featuring more than 150,000 objects spanning paintings and sculptures, drawings and architectural models, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is no stranger to hosting a wide variety of masterpieces. Yet one of its most recent masterpieces results not from the stroke of a brush or the heat of a kiln, but instead from a partnership with MindTree Ltd, in the development and deployment of key components of the museum's eCommerce site, www.momastore.org.

Retailers are striving for localized merchandise plans based on consumer Demand: The unpredictability of today’s consumer added to the volatility of the financial market means that retailers simply must change the way they approach understanding consumers and gaining insight from demand signals and how these are executed.
Examining market drivers behind the evolution of VeriFone‘s next generation of POS terminals.
In today's retailing ecosystem, retailers have been hard at work trying to create a customer/user experience at every retail channel that creates a higher level of satisfaction and increases the likelihood of repeat visits and purchases. It all culminates in incremental revenue velocity a holy grail in this economy. But retailers have created a tough environment for themselves. By offering consumers multiple, robust retail channels to purchase goods, merchants have heightened consumers' expectations of any given retail engagement. Now consumers expect a shopping experience that is consistent with physical stores for each digital channel whether it's a mobile storefront, an e-commerce website or a promotion via a microblog.

In 2010, the news was full of stories about fashion empires expanding their online shops into new overseas territories. In 2007, the news was about the retailers compensating for negative growth in the high street with online expansion. History seemed to be repeating itself in 2010 but there with two essential differences. It’s no longer just market leaders such as Next going online: the idea has reached the mainstream, most major brands are now trading online. And online sales are now international - rather than making up for weak high street returns, major brands are seeking to continue growth despite weak domestic returns by taking the brands cross-border to Europe, America and other parts of the world. Zara’s announcement in Q3 2010 was hot on the heels of a similar move from Gap earlier in the summer and a number of prominent retailers like Next and ASOS also growing and expanding overseas.
