RFID and a Single Version of the Truth

Abstract

RFID & Single Version of the Truth: Results from ChainLink’s Study of Interenterprise Data Sharing

Webinar

When

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005
12:00 Noon EST/9:00 AM PST

Hear results of ChainLink Research’s survey of over 250 companies including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and service providers (e.g. transportation). RFID is changing the way data is shared between supply chain members. As supply chains have become increasingly out-sourced, globally dispersed, and complex, the importance of sharing data between trading partners and across multiple tiers has intensified — whether it’s information about product roadmaps, forecasts, launch plans, manufacturing production status, product movement, inventory levels, promotional plans — you name it. Unfortunately, the actual sharing of data has lagged far behind the need.

The adoption of RFID is driving companies to revisit these issues because of the high value in sharing that data. This webinar presents results of our research, examining key issues:

  • Specific, concrete applications of multi-tier data sharing — creating a ‘Single Version of the Truth’
  • Adoption of (and obstacles to) open and rich data sharing
  • The issue of trust and appropriate sharing
  • Catalysts for market acceptance and main stream deployment

As with all our webinars, there is no software vendor infomercial — just pure research results. This webinar is valuable to anyone who has complex supply chain relationships requiring the rich sharing of data.
