| Document Title: | RFID Budgets Growing in 2011 | |
| Publication Date: | Mar, 2011 | |
| Excerpt: | 2010 was a banner year for RFID, with total global revenues reaching over $4B. So naturally, suppliers want to know if 2011 will be another big year. Barring any major macroeconomic issues … we say yes. VDC Research Group (VDC) has surveyed the population of RFID end-users and evaluators every year for over a decade. These end-users, from each regional and vertical market, answer a series of questions about their usage, experiences, preferences and purchasing of RFID solutions. | |

| Document Title: | Managed Services: RFID's Newest Business Model | |
| Publication Date: | Sep, 2009 | |
| Excerpt: | The RFID market remains highly fragmented, crowded with middling solutions and difficult to scale and generate significant, sustainable profits. And yet, it continues to grow through the recession, albeit at a much reduced rate. Clearly, users in many segments are conserving capital any way they can, including slowing their RFID rollouts and delaying their RFID pilots. | |

| Document Title: | Barcode & RFID Convergence: Enabling Greater Visibility Through Standards | |
| Publication Date: | Nov, 2010 | |
| Excerpt: | Barcode is the dominant track and trace technology on the planet. RFID is an emerging successor in some applications, a valuable complement in most. Barcode is used globally throughout most industries and is the de facto standard for most companies, regardless of tier or location. RFID is an emerging solution, capable of extending the value proposition of barcode by providing additional functionality and removing the limitations of line-of-sight scanning. Although these two technologies could be perceived as direct competitors for the same applications, end users continue to require both solutions – and this is not a short term condition. Why require both? | |
