Expanded collaboration aims to drive deeper customer visibility into supply chains
San Jose, CA April 25, 2006 BEA Systems is teaming with HP on new radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions for enterprise customers, leveraging HP Services' global reach and RFID implementation expertise and BEA's WebLogic RFID products.
The two companies have agreed to provide RFID solutions designed to help manufacturers, retailers, distributors, transportation and other industry customers streamline supply chain operations. They said they are building a portfolio of RFID solutions targeting four key areas, including:
"Customers are looking for RFID solutions that can help them leverage enterprise assets from the network edge back to the data center with superior reliability, availability, scalability and performance," said Wai Wong, executive vice president of products at BEA Systems.
