Art Douglas Director Southern California e-Business Forum 877-464-8915 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 3:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SCEBF Hot Topic This Wednesday 5/24 - Don't Miss it!! SCeBF MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT - May 24, 2006 The SoCal eBusiness Forum continues its coverage of RFID - Radio Frequency Identification, a hot topic about which many of our members have expressed great interest. At past meetings we have explored the technology of RFID tags and readers, but having RFID tag technology is only a part of the solution. To deploy RFID effectively, you need to move captured data into your business application system. The use of "middleware" software as an interface between the reader device and the user's business application system has become a critical element in RFID processing. Come to this meeting to learn the pivotal role of RFID application software in the whole deployment process. DATE: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 (NOTE UNUSUAL DATE) PLACE: Southern California Edison Montebello Service Center 1000 Potrero Grande Drive Monterey Park (See Driving Directions below) TIME: 8:30 - Coffee and Registration 9:15 - Meeting begins 10:30 - Networking break 10:45 - Program continues 12:00 noon - Adjournment Meeting Hosts: Southern California Edison and Southern California e-Business Forum TOPIC: "RFID Application Software - The Glue that Makes It All Work" As more companies investigate the use of RFID technology, a series of issues needs to be addressed to ensure a successful RFID implementation. This session will examine the requirements for a middleware solution set, and help you pick the right solution for integrating RFID data into your unique business application. These requirements must address several key issues: * Minimize data volumes on the network as tag reads escalate * Support inevitable changes to protocol and tag format standards, like ISO and EPC global * Integrate RFID applications with barcode technology and other intelligent devices * Integrate the RFID data into your business applications * Simplify the management of RFID readers, printers, and other network components even as the network stretches across multiple sites * Secure your RFID network and its data as the number of devices increases SPEAKER: Martyn Mallick, Director of RFID and Mobile Solutions at iAnywhere, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. Marty is responsible for product management, business development and strategy of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and mobile technologies, including RFID Anywhere(tm). As a technology evangelist, Mr. Mallick has worked directly with leading fortune 500 companies to implement innovative "always available" enterprise mobility solutions.
