Jeff Woods, an industry analyst with Stamford-based Gartner Research, said SAP offers the most complete RFID package when compared to other large vendors. He stressed that companies should take a cautious approach to investing in the new technology, which uses tiny microchips to track products and goods in the supply chain.
"SAP has certainly been ahead of other vendors with RFID," Woods said. "The company has made a big investment in the technology and has produced a complete package that should be considered by enterprises."

Yesterday's announcement also included enhancements to SAP's APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization) features to provide a feature called response replenishment. That should allow companies to view and update orders and customer requests several times a day.
"We think that RFID technology will change the course of business in the future," Woods said. "We believe that changes in managing the supply chain are beginning and will take place over the next several years."
