-Has referenceable accounts
While, Trenstar and Salesforce.com are well known and I have been watching these two companies, I first read about T3Ci when Jeff Nolan wrote about the company's new wesbsite with information about RFID analytics recently. Jeff - you have backed the right horse- RFID analytics would be a key linkage in any business ecosystem- particularly when during implementation of RFID - very high volume data gets processed and increasingly all transactional data relating to material atleast may eventually be "RFIDed" and T3ci offering fits in very well in meeting emerging enterprise requirements.The analytics value gets amplified considerable as the technology canbe deployed among trading partners.. The concept is a surefire winner...
