| Citing examples of fast growing Asian retail industries that are getting increasingly competitive with new players, new formats and new strategies, Manthan's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Atul Jalan said, |
|
| "Retailers may be faced with more challenges than they can handle, sooner than they thought possible. Having the right investments today can help retailers keep up and stay ahead of competition tomorrow. For any retailer in this race, analytics and business intelligence is one of the most important strategic levers they can use to steer their business going forward." |

| In a panel discussion on IT and Retail, Manthan's Director of business intelligence and data warehousing services, Swami Rajamani said, |
|
| "In this age of extreme survival skills, the retailers who leverage their information better through analytics and drive better decision-making are the ones likely to emerge winners as this growth phase evens out. Retailers today need a cross-functional view of their enterprise across multiple transaction systems to get up-to-date information on what's happening in their business, highlighting patterns and understanding opportunities for profit and sales maximization in a collaborative Business Intelligence environment." |
