One Step Retail Solutions, the provider of retail point-of-sale software systems, has had its founder and CEO, Scott Kreisberg, named a finalist in the best executive category of the 2008 American Business Awards, reports PR Web.

More than 2 600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories.

According to Kevin McAdam, One Step's vice-president of sales, "Scott has been the pulse of the company and guides its future, with the philosophy to exchange in abundance and deliver what is promised. He makes the employees feel valuable, fostering a team atmosphere and high morale."

Chief information officers from all retail segments are invited to participate in the fifth annual Retail IT Budget Study, conducted by NRF's CIO Council and AMR Research, says SmartBrief.

Study participants will receive full access to the report and a custom-cut of the data comparing their company's budget data against industry averages. The deadline to participate in the study is 15 June.
