Key Features
Executive Perspectives
Mike Leibovitz, Senior Director of Product Management, Extreme Networks
"Every retailer understands the need to digitally transform to advance– but they don't always know where to start. Extreme Retail Select packages meet retailers wherever they are on their transformation journey – whether that's just starting to provide guest Wi-Fi and wireless POS, or if it's implementing computer vision and smart shelves. We're giving customers a flexible, cloud-driven platform that meets their fundamental IT needs, simplifies purchase and deployment, and enables next-generation customer experiences."
Bob Laliberte, Practice Director and Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
"Secure, reliable connectivity has never been more important in a retail environment, but it takes more than great hardware. Extreme's dedicated retail cloud is a real differentiator, providing both front-end capabilities and back-end infrastructure that will accelerate the digital transformation process for small and mid-size retailers. The ability to quickly and easily deploy in-store networks – and keep them optimized – can be a challenge, especially during a seasonal rush. Extreme Retail Select packages provide a comprehensive solution that will dramatically simplify network management, deliver actionable analytics, and by leveraging the cloud, make it even easier to roll out new automation features."
David Raftery, Chief Customer Officer, Integration Partners
"In a fiercely competitive retail environment that's been completely reshaped by Amazon, it can be challenging to grow mindshare and sales. Extreme's Retail Select packages provide all of the ingredients we need in order to compete in retail, from cloud-managed Wi-Fi access points, PoE switches and SD-WAN routers, to analytics dashboards, to security capabilities. We're looking forward to leveraging these solutions to help customers create the innovative brick-and-mortar stores of the future."
Chad Simpson, Vice President and Deputy CIO, City Furniture
"As one of America's top-selling furniture retailers, we know that customer experience matters, and our customers expect more than quality products and a friendly smile; they also want frictionless network connectivity so they can research and compare while shopping. With Extreme's Retail Select package, we have a perfectly optimized, cloud-driven networking solution that provides fast, agile, and secure connectivity. It also provides our IT team with a centralized network view of not only our individual retail locations, but also our supply chain. From this single, easy-to-use cloud dashboard, we can support and manage the use of handheld scanners in our warehouses and fulfillment centers, tablets to support inventory check and point of sale on the showroom floor, and in-store guest Wi-Fi access across our entire footprint, saving time and resources."
