HP Mission Critical Support Keeps the Cash Rolling for Ceska Sporitelna Customers 2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard

Discount Retailer Streamlines Sales and Stock Processes With Management System 2006-12-01 Microsoft

Discount retailer Diskos sells everyday consumables at its 10 stores in north Wales.

The solution accelerates and streamlines point-of-sale, inventory, pricing, and promotions and can be tailored to meet specific needs in individual stores.
