Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

A host of business pressures — coupled with more mature RFID, wireless, and sensor technologies — will spur mainstream companies to adopt Extended Internet technologies. Expect businesses to deploy the Extended Internet in three phases: 1) tactical deployments; 2) adjacent process rollouts; and 3) widespread business process redefinition. While these stages differ in scope, they have one thing in common: At every step, business owners — and not IT — drive the investments. What does it mean? Vendors will win with process-centric ecosystems, and innovative users will turn process innovation into new lines of business.
