NSB lends expertise to MGM MIRAGE retail operations
Specialty casino retailer ensures all system components are in sync with Connected Retailer
Montreal, Canada, May 27, 2004 - NSB Group is pleased to announce that MGM MIRAGE, one of the world`s leading and most respected hotel and gaming companies, has signed a contract to migrate to NSB`s Connected Retailer® Merchandising and Store solutions. The agreement includes software licenses, professional services, multi-year maintenance, and IBM hardware.
MGM MIRAGE operates 100 stores throughout its 12 resort and casino properties. The resort company wanted solutions that would improve their business processes across the chain, provide increased automation, and enable them to manage their fast-paced, ever-changing business by exception.
Using NSB`s Merchandising Solution, MGM MIRAGE plans to incorporate more effective planning and make even better inventory decisions. At the store level, they will synchronize the communication infrastructure and implement state-of-the-art e-signature technology - all the while focusing on offering the kind of service consumers expect in a casino atmosphere.
Nikki Beckett, Chief Executive Officer for NSB, comments, "An increasing number of specialty retailers like MGM MIRAGE are taking advantage of the openness and flexibility of Connected Retailer® solutions to meet their specific business requirements. Now that MGM MIRAGE is embracing .NET technology with their new Connected Retailer® Merchandising and Store solutions, we look forward to seeing them realize even more concrete business benefits."
Connected Retailer® Merchandising 3.0 offers the mid-market retailer a flexible and comprehensive solution, automating and synchronizing all of the key merchandising functions (purchasing, pricing, receiving, allocation, replenishment, inventory management, and decision support). Connected Retailer® Store Solution 6.0 is a best-of-breed store automation system that gives retailers unparalleled flexibility to provide the best customer service. Using the power of XML, Web Services, and the .NET framework, retailers can decide where each business function actually runs, without requiring additional development - thereby allowing flexible deployment models, such as thin-client or even thin-store (a centrally-hosted system). Connected Retailer® Store 6.0 enables retailers to respond rapidly to changing in-store needs by taking advantage of the highly configurable nature of the 6.0 product, or by extending the application using .NET inheritance.
