Optimal Partners with R4 Global Services™ To Deliver Integrated RFID Solutions
Irving, TX, and San Francisco, CA - March 9, 2004 - Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc., an enterprise technology consulting firm, and R4 Global Services™, a leading solutions provider of RFID-enabled technology and services, today announced a strategic alliance to deliver fully integrated RFID solutions for Fortune 500 and middle market companies in the retail, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, defense, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Optimal's extensive experience with supply chain management (SCM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and enterprise application integration (EAI) solutions combined with R4 Global Services' proven R4 EnableSM methodology for designing, architecting and implementing enterprise RFID and end-to-end supply chain management solutions, allows the two companies to rapidly and cost-effectively deliver complete, enterprise-wide RFID-enabled solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing SCM, ERP and other core enterprise technology systems to yield optimal performance and maximum value.
"With Wal*Mart, Target, the U.S. Department of Defense and other industry leaders spearheading adoption of RFID, companies are increasingly demanding services vendors who can deliver a complete spectrum of services - including RFID engineering, systems architecture, integration and support," said Jeff Richards, President and CEO of R4 Global Services."The alliance relationship between R4 and Optimal enables our two firms to collaborate in delivering scalable, fully integrated enterprise RFID solutions - from the RFID engineering layer to the enterprise applications layer - to the world's largest companies."
"RFID solutions hold the promise for an extremely high ROI and real-time view of the entire supply-chain. However, RFID technology is relatively new and poses a high degree of integration challenges," said Sam Sliman, executive vice president for Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc. "Packaged software only answers part of the RFID implementation puzzle. Seamless integration with existing SCM and ERP systems is vital to realizing the full value of this technology. Together, Optimal and R4 Global Services offer a single, trusted source for RFID-enabled solutions that yield immediate and measurable benefits."
