New Research Report Reveals Best-in-Class Companies Focus on
Integration with Core Business Systems
MARLTON, N.J.–(EMWNews)–Acsis, Inc. (http://www.acsisinc.com),
a leader in track and trace solutions for supply chain safety, security
and efficiency, today announced its sponsorship of the research report, “RFID
and IT Infrastructures: Maximizing Business Value.”
The research, issued by Aberdeen Group,
a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), offers specific recommendations to
help companies maximize the business value of their RFID and other IT
investments by achieving best-in-class levels of application and
infrastructure monitoring and management.
The research report, surveying more than 200 respondents, highlights the
business pressures and the actions being taken to address challenges
including year-over-year changes in compliance with external Service
Level Agreements (SLAs), unplanned downtime and “time to information”.
According to the research, best-in-class companies enjoyed an average of:
-
75.4 percent year-over-year increase in the number of applications
meeting or exceeding external SLAs
-
16.7 percent year-over-year increase in IT infrastructure operational
efficiency and business responsiveness
-
1.92 percent year-over-year reduction of unplanned downtime
-
6.9 percent year-over-year reduction in “time to information” for
business intelligence
To enhance competitiveness and the business value of infrastructure
management and RFID investments, companies are looking to increase
integration with those RFID investments with core operational (“back-office”)
applications and business processes and analytics, via IT
infrastructures. This study offers specific recommendations based on
research findings and user interviews.
“According to survey respondents, the top
pressures driving integration of RFID and IT infrastructure management
are the desires to ease integration of RFID-generated data with key
applications, and to maximize the business value of that data,”
said Michael Dortch, senior research analyst, Aberdeen, and author of
the study. “The average 6.9% year-over-year
reduction in ‘time to information’ for business intelligence enjoyed by
Best-in-Class respondents underscores the ability of RFID-IT
infrastructure management integration to deliver meaningful business
benefits beyond compliance with regulations or mandates. There is much
more business value and ROI to be had.”
