- A large percentage of mandated suppliers limited their deployments, meeting minimal mandate requirements (predominantly through manual "slap-and-ship" installations);
- Technology performance (i.e., read rate accuracy, dense reader mode operation, etc.) was not stellar at the beginning of 2005, but improved as the year progressed most notably through the introduction of higher-performing Gen2-compliant products and firmware upgrades;
- The ISO-18000-6C standards approval process has been more protracted than expected, delaying Gen2 product development and user adoption (particularly outside North America); and,
- Most of the companies adopting RFID because of mandates initially find it challenging to measure an internal return on investment (ROI). ROI is realized when real-time RFID information becomes part of the enterprise's underlying business processes a level the majority of purely compliance-based adopters have not yet reached.
