Avnet Shows Faith in RFID
During dozens of executive roundtables in 2005 and 2006, The VAR Guy heard CIOs express interest–and doubt–in RFID. Is 2007 the year RFID finally catches on?
Too early to say for sure. But there are some positive signs worth noting. Avnet Technology Solutions, for instance, is partnering Stratum Global, an RFID software solutions provider.
The VAR Guy apologizes for the following tech jargon, but it does a decent job of explaining the relationship: Avnet will work with Stratum Global to deliver to its OEMs and VARs complete enterprise mobility solutions that include Stratum Global’s TagNet RFID solution suite. TagNet enables the detection and capture of tagged objects (products, assets, or individuals) and integrates that data with enterprise systems based on user-defined filtering and collection logic.
Wow. That paragraph doesn’t qualify as light reading. But you get the picture.
