i was surfing (kmworld.com) and i found a really good article which talks about the new trend of technology that is coming out to the market. the article talks about Webfocus a business intelligence (BI) application and RFID. The Ace corporation is planning to introduce Webfocus application in their system, which will help the company to cut the cost, timing and improve accuracy. another benifit of Webfocus application is that, there is no restriction on the number of user, and also takes less time for query unlike SQL server.

the article also talks about RFID, which is coming out to the market. Companies like Metro group a European retailer and Walmart had introduced in their company. but the only problem of RFID is the cost. it cost around 10 cent per RFID, which means that the aggregate cost of the material goes quite high if they introduce RFID with each inventory.
