Committees

The MIA Technology Committee

Primary Objectives

• To embrace the current technologies that could help our industry grow.
• To consider the relevance of new technologies that could help our industry grow.
• To pilot and trial new technologies where appropriate.
• To act as a point of reference for our members on appropriate technologies.

• Working with the POS suppliers to find recommended packages for our members.
• Trialing XML technology between suppliers and retailers.
• Keeping a constant monitor on the growth in Internet retailing.
