The “Experience Amazing” Tour will allow consumers to get up close and personal with some of Panasonic Corp.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) has decided to introduce its own mobile payment service.
It has been reported that Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is considering the introduction of a service that would let people pay for goods in brick-and-mortar stores using their mobile phones.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) already has a business division that enables mobile payments, but incorporating near-field communications, or NFC, chips would allow users to wave their phone over a terminal or price tag to either pay for an item or find a different size or color of the item on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s own store.

If it decides to go down this route, they will face stiff competition from a number of competitors who are looking into launching their own systems, including Google.

IBM (NYSE:IBM)

IBM (NYSE:IBM)

An IBM (NYSE:IBM) director has said that the company is poised for a leap.
While the largest enterprise software provider is about to celebrate one hundred years of service, Martin Chee, director business partners, IBM (NYSE:IBM) software growth markets, says that the company has been doing something introspective to see what they have done to bring the company to where they are right now.

“If we look at what we have been doing for the last 100 years as a company, you’ll see that we have made things like cheese slices and calculators and things have obviously progressed and changed along with how technology has changed and now we have moved to analytics and Cloud computing,” Chee said.

We could see more movement as the exchanges continue for Panasonic Corp. (NYSE:PC), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and IBM (NYSE:IBM).
