Looking at previous new technologies can help draw a few important lessons that can be applied to manage RFID rollouts.Like most mew technologies, RFID too is not immune to riding the turbulent looking waves of the Gartner Hype Cycle. The hype around RFID is evident from the mass of written word there is on RFID. A quick google for RFID yields 57,200,000 results. The RFID vision is compelling

The RoI figures on RFID deployments are far from encouraging. Most analysts suggest a focused approach to better RoI, but the catch is in adopting the right approach to infrastructure building and then deploying the right applications, not vice versa.Wal*Mart put all its weight behind RFID and in January 2005 mandated its suppliers to adopt RFID for pallets shipped in to its retail warehouses.

RFID holds the potential to impact our daily lives in unprecedented ways in the future. The economic impact and the business benefits can not be fathomed today. What can, is that there is no leveling off. From Lord Kelvin to Ken Olson to the great Thomas Watson, all have tried to play oracle, but did not do a great job. However the soothsayer who warned Julius Caesar of the ides of March was bang

The implementation and the strategy are not easy but RFID can offer a lot to the pharmaceutical industry including solutions for some of its most difficult problemsMost of the press for RFID implementation and rollouts went to the consumer packaged goods industry (Thanks to the big daddy, Wal*Mart!) But the pharmaceutical industry worldwide is not very far behind in gearing up to take advantage

The principle engrained in the open source movement is strong that it shall not remain confined to debate in the software circles alone. The others will adopt it, hopefully soon.Open Source has caught the imagination of nearly everyone and it has come to be synonymous with free but the meaning is rather different. Open Source relates to source code that is available to the public and refers to

New threats and risks present an opportunity unlike any in the recent past. All the CIO needs to do is reinvent his role and see old technologies in new light.I would like to start with an anecdote, which I know is rather old, but its nice to start from the very beginning. It dates back to the mid 80s and goes like this: “A group of American managers visiting Japan found out that their

Taking a cue from their bigger peers in the industry, the SMB must actively look at outsourcing their IT activitiesLike Alvin Toffler’s Third Wave, Nicholas Carr’s IT Doesn’t Matter is also on us. An article published in the May 2003 Harvard Business Review created the right kind of noise. In a nutshell, the article tried to put forth the idea that the strategic importance of information

While shared services help in curbing costs, but there is more to it than meets the eye in the first look.‘Shared services’ is quite explanatory a name, but to define the concept simply it is the centralized management of activities for more than one business user. Shared services is very quickly emerging as a popular mechanism (if I may call it that!) to drive scale and efficiency by stitching

Sun Microsystems buying StorageTek looked like another mistake from Mr McNealy. But closer examination revealed what my mom told me long back…On June 02, 2005, Sun Microsystems announced its plans to acquire Storage Technology Corporation or StorageTek, as it is popularly known. And most analysts and doomsday soothsayers called in the last nail (I had heard that before). As I sat in my office

The outsourcing industry in India has had its share of misdemeanors in the recent past and a fair amount of publicity too. But these blips are more than just stray incidents. They pertain to far more fundamental issues, rather a lack of understanding of the fundamental issues.The last few weeks have been really heady for the Indian outsourcing industry. Barely had the dust on the Karan Bahree

Getting an ERP rolling can sometimes be excruciatingly painful but once the system is up and running the value accrued is worth the effort.Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP as is popularly known was the hot and happening technology in the mid nineties. The Indian media covering business, rather the global business press, fell head over heals in love with the technology. Big businesses were

The pressures facing the marketer today extend beyond rapidly changing customer preferences. But these are easily tackled by allying with IT“The market is very dynamic,” is an oft-heard lament, especially from the marketer. And why not, 20 years ago, 80% of a target audience could be reached with one 30-second off-peak television ad. Today, reaching the same audience often requires 200 to 300

It was unlike a normal working day today. Best described as a harrowing day. After a presentation in the morning and staring at bland looking excel sheets all day long with a couple of meetings thrown in between, I sat down with a hot cup of soup (Oh, I forgot to mention that I was running an unusually bad cold) to answer all my pending mails. Little did I know that it would turn into a
