This IDC study presents the findings of an end-user survey on the state of RFID adoption in the United States. The survey was executed jointly with Logistics Today magazine in the summer of 2004. Topics explored in the survey include:
The status of RFID at the respondents' organizations ? with a focus on manufacturing, retail, and logistics
The importance of RFID benefits and challenges for the respondents' business success
Purchasing plans for IT infrastructure investments to support RFID
Consulting needs for business process improvements
Vendor preference
Implementation opportunities
"Based on these survey findings, IDC recommends a number of actions IT vendors should consider to help this market grow rapidly and develop successful long-term strategies to benefit from this growth opportunity. Although the survey base is relatively limited, with 45 respondents, IDC believes that the findings nevertheless provide insight into the current state of RFID adoption and the growth opportunities for RFID-focused hardware, software, and services providers." ?
