  • Making the Transition to the Cloud
    WHITE PAPER THE CONNECTED RETAILER How retail businesses can better connect with shoppers through insightful collaboration and innovation. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Shoppers want their brick-and-mortar buying experiences to be as easy as their interactions with retailers online. Accustomed to the one-click simplicity of the web, today’s customers expect to quickly find the item they’re looking for, immediately learn more about products and assume retailers will quickly address their needs on the fly. Too often, though, physical stores can fall short of these high expectations. Shoppers don’t have the high-quality experience they expect. They don’t find the products they want in stock or get the personal service they demand. When a store fails to meet shoppers’ expectations, that’s when customers begin to look elsewhere, either at another store or online. Through the use of a sophisticated digital strategy, retailers can provide customers with the seamless shopping experiences they crave. Solutions such as mobile devices, mobile beacons, wearables and advanced data analytics empower the sales associate and personalize retail interactions for the customer. When deployed thoughtfully and effectively, these emerging technologies help retailers connect with their customers like never before. CONNECTED RETAILER CDW.com/retail | 800.800.4239 2 A New Era of Customer Service the retailer can email deals the next winter for related items In years past, when most people did their shopping in such as motor oil and rock salt. neighborhood stores, retailers knew their customers’names It is essential that retailers have a digital strategy in and their buying habits.

    October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016 Annual report of the Consumer Advisory Board Letter to the Director from Consumer Advisory Board Chair and Vice Chair Richard Cordray, Director Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20552 Dear Director Cordray, On behalf of the Consumer Advisory Board (CAB or Board), we are honored to present our annual report, which details the activities and progress made during the past fiscal year. We think it is important to first note that the Bureau reached a major milestone this year, celebrating its fifth anniversary since opening its doors back in July 2011. We are very impressed to observe that during that short time period, the Bureau has had an incredible impact on the lives of consumers across this great country. You have provided much needed relief to harmed consumers, handled nearly one million consumer complaints, and have continued to build out a number of consumer tools and resources to help consumers make informed choices when shopping for financial services. The financial service market place is indeed safer for everyday consumers. We are excited and optimistic about the future of the Bureau’s work and look forward to seeing this work continue, particularly strong protections implemented that will protect consumers from predatory debt traps and dead ends, among other areas of improvement in the marketplace. Throughout this year, the CAB has continued to provide the Bureau cross-industry expert advice on a variety of consumer financial issues and emerging market trends to support the Bureau’s efforts to protect consumers and make consumer financial markets work for everyone.
