Platform Giants Tackle RFID Middleware

IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, And Sun Pitch RFID Middleware Strategies

by Sharyn Leaver

with Christine Spivey Overby, Esther H. Yuen

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

RFID middleware will manage the flow of data between tag readers and enterprise applications. Many RFID early adopters — primarily driven by mandates — have turned to application and pure-play vendors like Manhattan Associates and OATSystems, respectively, which were first to market with quick-hit middleware solutions. But top platform veterans, including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun, are planning to redefine this market with offerings that support broader RFID deployments. Firms considering these vendors today should look for flexible architectures that can start small and grow with their needs.
