We chose Oracle Retail Cloud Services to synchronize our global initiatives and deliver state of the art functionality to INTERMIX," said Paul Chapman, Chief Information Officer, Gap Inc. "The INTERMIX team is inspired by the potential of the solutions. They look forward to new capabilities and insights delivered by the Oracle Retail solutions."

"Over the last six months, my team worked closely with the Oracle Retail Development, Solution Management and Consulting teams to deploy the solution from strategic planning to go-live. Throughout the whole process the teams functioned in tight partnership and tackled any challenges that arose. The excellent work for INTERMIX has given us the confidence to continue our journey to the cloud with Oracle," said Chapman. 

INTERMIX curates the most sought-after styles from a compelling and edited mix of both established and emerging designers. INTERMIX delivers a highly-personalized shopping experience across its 40 stores in North America, and each boutique's assortment of merchandise is hand-selected to reflect the nuances of its neighborhood. Complimentary personal stylists are on hand to work one-on-one with clients to create looks that perfectly serve their lifestyle needs.
