The magazine is focused on providing self-service solutions that will empower customers through shorter waits in line, including self-checkout terminals. According to a preliminary study performed by Voyagi, Inc., more than 42% of retailers will consider implementing self-service automation during the next two years. The implementation of this technology has grown by over 350% annually for the last five years. Lief Larson, Group Publisher for Voyagi and Publisher of //Self Serv, said ``There have been numerous success stories with self-service automation over the last year. Our goal is to take this story to the streets, and build awareness. Impatient American consumers are demanding self-service and we're excited to be the first to cover this.'' The premiere issue of //Self Serv Magazine will be launched July 4, 2001. //Self Serv Magazine is the official publication of the SSAA, the self-service automation association.
