Retailers' Priorities and Challenges in 2024


41% of IT leaders prioritize cost reduction as their top priority for 2024. Only 1% of IT leaders consider their company a digital leader, with 45% stating their processes are complex, manual, or built on legacy infrastructure. Retailers prioritize email, mobile app, and web as their top channels for personalization. Budget constraints, customer privacy concerns, and unusable tech are the biggest challenges for IT leaders.
