Further, the survey indicates that retail technology teams are viewing mobile, mobile marketing and payment solutions, such as EMV, as an integrated solution in order for the entire platform to be scalable and remain synchronized.

The survey revealed the top mobile marketing issues facing retailers:

• Mobile strategy is a critical component of IT planning in the next 24 months
