A handful of suppliers are taking RTLS to a new level by coupling it with ultra-wideband sensors that not only piggyback on the user’s existing wireless infrastructure, but also offer considerably larger fields of view than earlier RTLS solutions.

Software selection and implementation services have become big business for consulting firms as well as the software vendors themselves.  Even with outside assistance, selecting the right software for your operation and having a successful implementation can be an extremely difficult undertaking. Horror stories of failed ERP system implementations are unfortunately very common.  Anyone that frequently reads business publications has likely read stories where large corporations, posting smaller than forecasted profits (or losses), cite problems associated with the implementation of a new software system as one of the causes.  Whether these claims are legitimate or not is up to debate. What is true, is businesses are highly dependent on information systems, and failures in the selection and implementations of systems can result in anything from a minor nuisance to a complete operational shutdown
