The retail industry is undergoing significant changes, driven by customer expectations for a seamless shopping experience, personalized recommendations, and real-time analytics. To deliver these experiences, retailers need to access data in real-time, but traditional data architectures often struggle to meet this requirement due to slow refresh rates and delayed insights. The webinar "Real-Time Retail With IBM and SingleStoreDB" explores the challenges of building a real-time data infrastructure for interactive applications and analytics, highlighting the limitations of legacy data architectures and the importance of unifying transactions and analytics in a single database. SingleStoreDB is introduced as a fully distributed SQL database that scales with data requirements, powered by IBM Cognos to empower users to make sense of retail data, reducing query latency, hyper-scaling concurrency, and lowering total cost of ownership.
