I was part of a meeting at retailerX where a VP or mid-level manager that was representing the company at CurrentC gave a talk. As she told it things were going swimmingly and she talked about her lead and how she and retailerX were respected by the other retailers for their IT prowess. After that meeting I knew CurrentC was dead. This lady was chosen to lead the project and most mid-level managers at retailerX were completely incompetent. RetailerXs IT department is staffed by H1-Bs and get things done through brute force. If that's the best they could find they were in trouble from the start.
Wal-Mart made the wise decision of going solo and launching their own app a little bit later. From what I hear Wal-Mart labs has a great staff.
