Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology
is no longer the next new thing. Few companies are
debating if they should employ this technology — today
they are wrestling with how to get an RFID solution
up and running efficiently, cost-effectively, and
with the most benefit to the organization. At SAP,
our approach is not limited to creating technology
to help our customers comply with RFID mandates imposed
by their partners or by federal and retail regulations.
RFID is a technology to provide our customers with
a competitive advantage. The value of RFID is not
in how well you generate data, but in your ability
to respond to that data accordingly. SAP's
RFID strategy, then, is guided by two key principles:
adoption and proliferation.
