title: Disappointment reigns [retail IT]
abstract: CPFR remains at the forefront of CIOs' minds, but a number of barriers, such as secretive corporate cultures and spotty data integrity, stand between retail organizations and true supply-chain collaboration. CIOs remain vexed at these obstacles, as was evidenced at a roundtable discussion by retail and consumer-goods IT leaders at the Retail Systems 2002 conference, held in Chicago by the consultancy MoonWatch Media Inc., Newton Upper Falls, Mass. Other annoyances discussed by retail CIOs include poorly designed business processes and retail's poor image with the IT talent emerging from school into the job market
